[nabs-l] Music for Band

[Kaiti Shelton]

I will add a disclaimer though; it has been a long time since I even
sent anything to my NLS transcriber.  The music department at my
school hired two older composition students to use Finale in
conjunction with the Goodfeel package to act as transcribers, and they
do a fantastic job.  It works great because there is no out-of-pocket
cost to me, the student transcribers are hired by the department so
they are paid for their time and treat it like a job, and the school
picked up the costs of purchasing Goodfeel and an embosser for them to
use.  The guys do all my music textbooks too, and are able to give me
Lime files for me to read on my computer as well which is really a
nice benefit.  This might be something you discuss with your music
department when you look at schools too.  It's a pretty good system.
