Hi, everybody,
We are looking for someone who is good with Dorico and hymn engraving who would would like to engrave hymns. I’m a non-musician compiling a non-English hymnal. We are not asking for free labor, so we’ll agree upon a price. It’d probably be easiest to handle the payments if the engraver were in the USA, but I don’t think that is essential.
At this point there are about 200 hymns left to engrave. However, there could be some more added. I envision providing the scores in batches of 10 or 20 hymns. I have access now to about 140 of the scores, and the other 60 should be made available to me in the next month or so. Many of the remaining 200 hymns are old American, English and German hymn settings, though some are newer.
We have a Dorico template which I’ll provide to the engraver.
Our previous engraver was this forum’s own Dan Kreider, who is an amazing hymn engraver; he helped us in an amazing way. However, his schedule no longer allows him to help us with this.
If you want to discuss this further, please send me a private message.
Thank you, @pianoleo, for the heads up on that. I did not intend to post it to the entire forum, so I’ve deleted it.
I appreciate your bringing it to my attention.

Its because the responder did not use a PM, so the reply goes to the public forum. No blame - just explaining the cause (I run some Discourse forums and this happens all the time).
@dspreadbury, first off, I want to thank Steinberg for letting me post this request. I received many responses from qualified engravers who love to use Dorico.
Now for a request: would you please close this thread to further responses? (Of course, anyone may always PM me, but this is my way of saying I’m no longer actively looking for an engraver.) Or, if there is a way for the original poster to close a thread, please let me know how.
Thank you!

Edit: this thread is “solved” because so many kind engravers responded (eleven). That was far more than we needed.
