On-the-Spot Engraving

A music engraver often becomes a part of the realisation team in the cases of premiere performances or studio recordings. Those are the situation in which, after the first listening, the composer or arranger decides to make alterations to the score. The engraver's role is to reflect these changes in the score and parts right on the spot, readily printing the corrected materials. The engraver's constant presence and his immediate work saves both time and money, since these scenarios often involve a large number of musicians.
