Description

Process for the reproduction of scores and similar music scripts. So far, the production and duplication of scores and the like has taken place Publications in the following way z. The composer wrote down the scores on a lined sheet of music.

2. This manuscript from the composer will be sent to the music writer who writes down the composer's score with an ink pen, namely the score in the Whole, d. H. all voices among each other, (with salon orchestra 12 voices, with large orchestras z4 and more voices among themselves).

3. This copy of the score from the composer's original (not a copy of the voice) gives the music writer back to the composer for the first correction.

The composer corrects the transcript of the musical score and gives it back to the grader for improvement.

5. The music clerk improves his transcription of the score and after completing the correction, give this copy of the score to the composer return to the second correction.

6. The composer corrects the copy of the score for the second time and gives it back to the grader for improvement.

This process can be repeated again until finally the The composer has accepted the copy of the score. Then the second part follows the work of music notation, namely: pulling out or writing out the individual parts from the score. After completing the writing out of the the music score writer gives these transcripts to the composer for individual parts for the first correction.

B. Now follows an extremely arduous, time-consuming and mind-numbing one Work for the composer. He must correct every single voice by using the compares parts written by the music notepad with the corrected score such that he, for. B. on the first trumpet, the part copied for itself the first trumpet, the z. B. in the eighth line of the composer's score is followed measure by measure in the score. Practice has shown that the notation writer very often when writing out the individual parts the score parts placed one below the other, such as B. the first trumpet part, got into the second trumpet part, d. H. entered wrong grades. This source of error arises from the similarity of the melody voices between the first and second trumpet. The composer has to be very careful with this correction, that the same thing does not happen to him as does to the music writer.

G. After the first correction of the transcript of the votes has been completed the composer gives the material back to the music writer for improvement back and so this game of correction is repeated until finally the composer believes that the transcripts of the parts are playable in the orchestra.

ok However, practice shows that despite multiple correction and improvements are still flaws in the votes. The conductor is often the game when rehearsing the parts or the score to interrupt in order to eradicate the remaining transcription errors.

11. Only after after the many corrections and improvements to the Finally the material by practically playing through the orchestra body has been cleaned of errors, the score and the individual part can be considered printable are designated.

12. Only now does the music engraver begin to transfer the score and the individual voices again, as with the copies, d. H. the engraver makes a plate, similar to the music notepad, with each measure and must look at the transcript of every bar note. Subverted on this occasion also the engraver mistake, so a proof was made of the plate and the Composers, in turn, must be sent for correction.

13. Correction of the engraver proceeds almost in the same way, as with the composer's music writer, until finally the original plate print is finished is available and printing can be started.

The present invention now relates to a method for duplication of scores, through which this difficult and cumbersome work can be dispensed with be made.

The essence of the process consists in the preparation of the original manuscript or a copy of the original manuscript is made on a sheet of music, whose Staff line groups have a wider than the normal distance that on this of the original manuscript or its copy on tracing paper using A copy is made of stencils and templates, w (lche after individual Voices is cut up in stripes, whereupon the stripes of a voice among each other glued together to form lithographic templates for printing.

So after the original manuscript or the copy thereof on a sheet of music is written whose staff groups are larger than normal Be spaced, and by a draftsman taking a careful printable break Using stencils and templates can break this into the individual voices, band or strip wise, are cut up, and these voices are continuously placed one below the other, so that one can look at them after the or any other reproduction process related copies of each Can produce any number of votes.
