Stylesheet used by Berklee College jazz comp. students (Finale, Sibelius, Dorico)

• Follow the link to an excellent stylesheet from Bob Pilkington, with guidelines for his students at Berklee College. You won't go wrong following these guidelines.

  The only caveat I would add is this: Outside of college classes, some publishers and band directors would prefer a transposed score rather than a concert score.
