Please bear in mind that this is not an automated system, so don't expect an immediate reply. I do check for messages a few times a day but there will be times when I am not able to do so quite so frequently. If you do not hear from me within a few days please contact me.
The files will be virus-checked before being sent, but I would still advise you strongly to scan them before opening.
Be sure to allow your email provider to accept the music (an email with an attached pdf file) from me. If it automatically deletes what it regards as spam, you will not be able to receive anything. To prevent this, you can enter my name, Paul Busby, and email address into your address book beforehand.
For large orders or where any problems might arise in your receiving the files, I will put them on a CD and send them by post/mail to your address after consulting with you. Postage and packaging will be added to the cost in the case of large orders but not if the problem is my responsibility.
Regarding PRINTING, please note that if you want to just print the page that is visible on the screen, choose Current Page, otherwise the whole file will start to print out!
Before printing, it is important to go to the Properties section of the Print menu and change the setting from optimum speed to optimum quality , or the equivalent on your printer. In large files, print a few pages at a time, rather than all at once. Check the first few pages to see if everything is clear and there are no stave lines missing. If there are, you might need to clean the heads on your printer before carrying on. If after all this, the files do not print out well, I'll send you the music in the original notation form.
Regarding the SOUNDBITES, I must apologise for the poor quality of many of them, but I am not selling them but the written notation. To hear them, most of you will have a choice. Either click on the titles or on the arrows. Clicking on the titles allows you to hear or download the mp3 files, but it may take a while before they start to play and you may be taken away from the page.
To counter these problems I have installed a flash mp3 player with arrows beside each of the titles. This has the advantage of playing the files immediately. But this option is not available to people who have prevented java script and activeX from running on their computers. You may safely click on any warning banners you might see and clicking Allow Blocked Content as I have not used any dangerous or intrusive script anywhere and the only ActiveX used is to operate the flash mp3 player and the flash visuals on the Scored Changes Explained page. Trust me, I'm a musician!
HOW TO PAY
Pay me only after you have received the files and checked to see that they can be opened alright with the notation and chord symbols clearly marked. On the computer screen the music may look a bit uneven in places but it should look fine when it is printed out. Please notify me immediately if there are any problems.
You should then contact:
and pay the amount due into my account. It's all very simple really, but you do have to register with them the first time you use them. However that will also enable you to make use of other sites, such as Ebay.
For people living in Britain, I will also accept a cheque or postal order, made payable to Paul Busby, not Scored Changes.
I'm sorry this is a rather long-winded way of going about it, but things can so often go wrong with computers and I want to make sure that you receive the files in good order before asking you for payment. Thank you for your patience.
