Submission Steps
☑️Once your music is complete, check all your parts are correctly labeled and nothing is missing.
☑️Create a nice cover page and include the graphic separately when submitting.
☑️Print all the parts individually as PDFs, and ensure you have page numbers included at the bottom.
☑️Name the parts in the format: [Music Title].[Instrument part].[Instrument Key].[Clef].pdf
Eg. Mario's Joy.Flute 1.C.TC.pdf or Mario's Joy.Trumpet 3.Bb.TC.pdf☑️Then use a PDF program to join all the PDFs of the individual parts into one big PDF file for the buyer to download. Including the conductors score as the first attachment in the PDF.
(There are tons of free PDF programs you can use for this. eg. PDFill.)☑️Also zip up the individual PDFs (score and parts) to upload along with the single big PDF in case there are issues with the main file.
☑️Create a Sample PDF file for the catalogue site. This must have:
> Title Page with details of the piece.
> Instrumentation listing so buyers know what parts are included.
> The first page of the score so buyers can see the quality of the layout.
When someone buys your music via MyVGM, every individual page will automatically be stamped with the buyers order details and email address to discourage the sharing of the PDF files.
When you upload, ensure you include the following:
