FAQ

Q: How and when will I receive my music? 
A: Within a seconds of your payment, you will receive an email from Surrey Brass. This email will contain either an attachment containing the music, or a link, through which you can download your music.

Q: How do I view and print my music? 
A: To speed up download, all files are in one compressed ZIP archive. A Zip utility will be needed to expand and extract from the compressed archive. Many free zip utilities are available for download. Once extracted from the ZIP archive, music files are in PDF format, and can be viewed in a PDF viewer such as the free Adobe Reader. 

Q. Are there any restrictions?
A. Once you have downloaded the music file, you'll be able to open it at any time, and print (without restriction) as you would any normal document. You can print as many copies as you need for your own use. However you must respect copyright, in particular because you have bought this arrangement for your own use, you are not permitted to sell or otherwise send copies of this music for other people's use. Please see our Copyright statement.

Q: What are the requirements for my computer? 
A: You won't need a mega-powerful machine, almost any computer made in the last five years will be more than adequate. The only software requirements are for a a ZIP archive reader and a PDF viewer (see above question). The file will open on both Mac and Windows machines. We haven't tried it on Linux or other machines, but don't expect any problems.

Q: What about the printer?
A: We recommend you use an A4 monochrome Laser printer because the print is more resilient and longer lasting than inkjet. If the printer is capable of it, you may be able to set it to print out double sided. If you have access to an A3 printer you may prefer to use this for scores. You may also wish to bind the score and there are many ways to do this. Although we have not tried this vendor and cannot recommend them, you might like to look at http://www.vivid-online.com/products/range/3 and similar products.

Q: Are these just the full scores, or are there individual parts for each instrument included as well? 
A: A complete set of instrumental parts is provided, in addition to the full score. In addition we frequently include alternative parts (for example horn parts in both F and Eb, to permit both orchestral and brass band instrumentation).

Q: Can I transpose the instrumental parts? 
A: You should not need to because we often supply the standard instrumentation together with alternative transposed parts for Brass Band - for no extra charge. Additional transpositions can be provided at no extra cost - just ask us for what you want and we'll do our best to supply it (although we cannot promise everything!).

Q: If I lose the file later will you supply a replacement?
A: Although we always try to be as helpful as we can, Surrey Brass regrets that in most cases that this will not be possible. Just as with physical goods, if you lose it, you will need to buy a replacement.
