Music Preparation. There are four services covered under the classification of Music Preparation: arranging, orchestrating, copying and librarian work. The work of composers is not covered under AFM agreements. Music Preparation services are generally paid by the page of output rather than by time spent working. The standard score page is considered to have 10 lines with 4 bars each. Additional payment is required if pages contain more lines than 10. These rates can be found in the associated music preparation chart. Arrangers may negotiate their own rates, as the skill is highly specialized, but in no case shall such a rate be less than the calculated scale rate for orchestration.
Music Preparation. In the event a Musician performs music preparation work (arranging, orchestrating, copying or librarian services) for media released under the terms of this Agreement, that Musician shall receive music preparation payment under the terms and conditions of the appropriate Federation agreement. However, if the project is a premiere performance of an original composition commissioned for a symphony, opera, or ballet institution that is exploited under the terms and conditions of this Agreement without any modifications to the original preparation, the music preparation payment to the Musician shall be identical to the payment to a Musician under the relevant terms of this Agreement.
