How can I send you music/text/pictures to create my composition?

As well as posting, you may also send us any material through our on-line form. Please note, if you wish a picture to be included in your music, you must send it as an upload.
Instructions will be given in our online form. It's easy to do and of course you save on postage costs and time! However, please note, uploading does take twice as long as downloading.
Please do not send any items unless you have submitted the on-line form or phoned us with your order. If you do choose to post items to us, try to send us copies if possible. If you send originals we will return them once we have completed your composition. However postage + packing costs for these items will be included in your quotation.

How long does it take to complete a composition?

Once we have received your order (including all the items you send to help us), we will email you with an estimated completion date and cost. If you decide to go ahead, and providing we have all the necessary items we will aim to complete the music to fit to your deadlines as best as possible. Obviously, big assignments may take weeks and even months to complete and so we recommend that you give us plenty of time.

Q. What do I get for my money?

If you order a sheet music composition, you will receive each part separately along with a full score (if you have ordered more than one part). You will also receive a midi file of your composition as well. If you wish for your music to be sent through the post, it will be sent on sheets of good quality A4 paper. You may even ask us bind or laminate your music. There is a small charge of 50p per page for laminating and £2 for binding. We will e-mail the midi file to you after we have sent your composition. If you order an audio composition, you will receive the CD, Minidisc or MP3 (depending on your choice).

Q. How much does it cost and when do I pay?

Once you have submitted your order, we will assess your request and may possibly -usually in the event of a big assignment- contact you to discuss a suitable cost. Subsequently, we will e-mail you with a no-obligation quote and completion time. If you choose to accept, you may do so online, over the phone or through the post. Whichever method you choose, you will be required to provide payment details as confirmation of your acceptance of our quote. However we will only process any payment once your order has been dispatched. (You may pay by cheque or credit/debit card). However, if the printout is especially large, we will process 15% deposit prior to starting but you will be informed if this is the case. Otherwise we will process your card payment for the total cost following the dispatch of your order.

Q. How will you send me a sheet music composition?

If you order sheet music you may receive your composition through the post or as a download (PFD file format) from our web site.

We prefer the download method for many reasons:

• It is quicker, cheaper and safer than sending it through the post
• If your sheet music composition gets dirty, you can simply throw it away and print out another.
• The quality is just as good as if we sent you the arrangement through the post.
(Print out a sample now to see how good the quality is).
• Fonts are embedded within the document. We don't send the music as a Word.doc for instance because you may not get what you expected. If you don't have the right fonts installed on your
computer, musical notation may end up looking like gobbledygook!! PDF files embed the fonts
within the document so this doesn't happen. You can't see the embedded fonts of course but you
can guarantee the music will be music and not nonsense!

You may of course ask for your composition to be sent through the post, but please note, there will be additional charges for paper, postage and packing. You may also ask for your music to be laminated (40p per sheet) or comb bound £2.

How will you send an audio composition?

A. If you order an audio composition, you may receive your arrangement through the post or as a download (MP3 file format) from our web site.

We prefer the download method for many reasons:

• It is quicker, cheaper and safer than sending it as a CD or Minidisc through the post.
• You can copy it onto CD or Minidisc from your computer.
• If you order a CD composition and lose it, that's it. However, if you have an Mp3 version which
you then copy onto CD you can afford to lose it!

If you do require your composition to be sent as a CD or Minidisc through the post we will of course comply but please note, there will be additional charges as well as postage and packing.

What happens if I'm not satisfied with the composition?

If you are unhappy with the composition, you must inform us within 7 days telling us exactly what you wish to be altered. We will make every reasonable effort, free of charge, to make all the necessary changes required. We may also, at our own discretion, decide to completely redo the project, starting from scratch.
Please note: no refunds will be given. As with software, refunds are only made if the product is faulty. However, at Designer Music we do offer to alter the music at least twice and possibly many more times if you aren't completely satisfied and are happy for you to make copies of your composition, but we can't offer refunds, sorry. Please read our terms and conditions for more info.
