Our promise to you is that our works will fit your program, or we will edit it to make it fit. No need to hire another arranger or pay extra for what you already purchased. Each and every work comes with a consultation with us to ensure less editing from the beginning. Please be aware: rewrites are not the same as edits. This is why the consultation at the beginning of purchase is very important. Simply put, Rewrites are significant changes to large portions of a work. Edits are smaller changes to fit your ensemble. The difference between a rewrite and edit differs for each type of work and is described below.
Note: This policy is subject to HORYZIN Music’s interpretation. The limits described in this policy are to protect all of our staff from abuse of creative time and effort. This policy is never intended to limit the possibility of creating your dream work. If there is ever any doubt, please communicate it with us, we will be more than happy to help you through it.
