| How to calculate line usage |
Piano consisting of three staves: left hand, right hand, chords, vocal line and lyric line equals five lines. Organ consisting of three staves: left hand, right hand, pedals, chords, vocal line and lyric line equals six lines. Guitar consisting of chords and notation/rhythm slashes equals two lines. Drums equal one line. Percussion equals one line for each instrument stave. Harp equals two lines. Brass and Woodwind equals one line per instrument, even when block written. Choral equals one line for each vocal part, even when block form. Lyrics equal one line when score is block written, however when vocal staves are separated, then the number of lines equals the number of vocal separated staves. A typical cabaret arrangement consisting of four rhythm and three front lines would amount to 12 lines, therefore attracting the $11.00 per vertical bar rate. |

For each required colour sheet there is an additional charge per sheet of $4.00 to the above. |
