Sheet Music: Cover Design, Music Notation & Printing

We type-set, engrave, print and distribute sheet music world wide specialising in harp music. Our clients vary from World Renowned Independent Music Publishers like Adlais Music Publishers to individual music teachers who simply want to make their arrangements for their own students available to others. We also undertake Vanity Publishing.

The exact service depends on what any client wants. It can simply be to print music from supplied music notation files such as we are doing for some publications from both Savourna Stevenson and Clive Morley Harps we simple combine the music scores, front covers and notes then print it for them, they distribute the finished books.

At the other end of the scale for some clients we do almost everything - they supply us with hand written music and a design brief for the book. We then set & engrave the music, design the front cover, type up music and biographical notes once ready we then print and distribute the music as a co-production between client and Creighton's Collection. In all cases we sell retail copies of what we produce from our online shop.

For music publishers we can also handle new works registrations with MCPS - PRS and issue ISMN from the MPA.

All our music is printed in house using our modern Digital A3 Printer this means that we can print to order, if a client wants just 1 copy we can print just 1 copy, if they want 100 we can print 100. This saves having to hold massive stocks of litho printed scores. Normally there is little delay in providing new copies - the printer sits behind in the office so we can print, fold, staple & finish immediately! We tend to hold some copies of each book in stock for when we get online orders but often with large trade orders we print and dispatch the music the same day.
