The Fascinating Life of a Music Copyist, Part 1 |
|
Music copyist Explanation: Music copyist fits the bill very well and is a term currently being used. This is the job description of this profession: Music copyists produce professional looking handwritten or computer generated musical scores for each musician to study and use during rehearsals and performances. In general, music copyists copy musical parts to produce separate scores for different parts and correct errors (for example, incorrect notes or rests). Music copyists do not always rewrite the complete score. Songwriters may hire copyists to write out a lead sheet containing the melody line, chord symbols and words to the song or to write out specific instrumental parts from a score. Copyists also may write out copies of specific instrumental parts from orchestral scores (for example, for strings, woodwinds, percussion or brass instruments). Copyists generally follow a copyists' guide manual although some arrangers require copyists to adjust to their personal method. |

(musical) score legibility transcriptionist Explanation: You're right. Music Copyist is accurate among those in the music industry. However, if you'd prefer a title that may be more comprehensible to a general audience, Musical Score Legibility Transcriptionist may fit your needs. I also feel that Music Copyist sounds a bit vague and could be contrived to mean plagiarist, cover band member, etc. |
