Does anybody out there offer transcription services - fee?

I do - and work cheap and fast. $25-30 for a typical lead sheet, for example. More for piano parts and vocal/instrumental arrangements. All I need is a recording and written lyrics.

Contact me through my profile for more details...

I also do transcription for lead sheet or choir voicing. See my samples at www.Samsmuzikco.com/shmusic.htm (http://www.Samsmuzikco.com/shmusic.htm)
I currently use Sibelius and Finale Print Music. I transcribe all music for my choir and have written my own music. My charges are also 25.00 per page front and back.

If you can, try to upgrade to Finale - they offer discounts for students and clergy.

BTW, which do you like better? I use Finale 2008, have seen Sibelius but have never tried it...

Sibelius is easier to poat chords above the melody line and adjust spacing between staffs. Getting used to PrintMusic...price for Finale was out of my budget range.

I understand price...but you may be eligible for a cross-grade rate from Sibelius,if that is better than the Clergy discount - see www.finalemusic.com (http://www.finalemusic.com)

Am just getting ready to install Finale 2009 - bought this year's version (about $100) but had to put extra memory in my iMac G5 to be able to run it...
