Just received an email from Gary recognizing that I'm a n00b in copying.
He sent me some basic fonts and Schirmer's guidelines on fonts.
I'm quite happy that he reached out and willing to give me some pointers to improve on my job.
That's all I can ask for, some professional guidance.
There is literally NO support for a budding copyist to get into the circle.
Each copyist is on their own, and learn by themselves along the way.
Like all scores, you get questioned and corrected, and you have to actively think and analyze what's best for a composer's toiled work to present on paper.
Sure you can buy notation books and refer them when a problem comes.
However, you're always starting fresh every time you get a new manuscript. Sometimes it's challenging to just start a work.
So!
Soldier on and keep learning!
