San Diego Music Transcription Services by Dan Libertino
Music Transcription Showcase

Libertino Music operates LibbyTunes Transcription and Music Engraving Service.  Dan's expert knowledge of current computer based engraving products Finale and audio editing software Roni Music's Amazing Slow Downer are just some of the tools used over the years to write song books for MelBay, Warner Brothers Publishing, Creative Concepts  and Word Music among others.

A complete list of books, private projects and smaller magazine articles is shown below. Some of the books are out of print or were not published due to legal matters. I have the files to prove that I did spend more than 2 years of my life transcribing all the songs on all 16 of Joni Mitchell's recorded cd's creating sheet music for every song to produce her anthology only to have Warner Brothers publishing rights lapse. The book was printed but was ordered to be pulled within one day of it being released by Joni herself. If I could only talk with her and tell her what I did for her, maybe she would change her mind. In the mean time please enjoy this list of published songbooks with foot notes describing what I did. If you see something you like and it is out of print, maybe I can provide a file or two for you. Please contact me via phone or e-mail if you any questions.

 Job description

Phil Keaggy

Nuevou Flamenco

 

Lights of Madrid

Transcription, tabbing, engraving, layout and editing for of 10 of the 12 songs.
Completed the entire project myself being contracted directly from Word/Artisan label, the label have been created to release Phil's music exclusively. The sheet music for each song was then exported to pdf format and placed on the CD disk so the person who bought the CD had the sheet music/song book as well the songs. These were note for note transcriptions, not arrangements.

 Singer/songwriter/finger-style guitarist with strong instrumental influences from Michael Hedges

  Acoustic Sketches TranscriptionIncluding Tabbing of 5 songs. (There was a editor in chief who changed some of what I did. I originally did not receive credit for this book.)
  Acoustic SolosTranscription, including Tabbing of 5 songs. Acted as editor and layout for all of the songs
  Master and the MusicianTranscription, tabbing, engraving, layout and editing. The book was never officially published. Nevertheless, every song was written out note for note. Parts were created for ensemble songs and was presented as a gift to Phil. After personally presenting it to him in the     spring of 1994, he set me up with the publisher John August Music who then hired me to complete the officially released books listed above.

Ottmar Liebert

  BorrascaTranscriber, Tabbing, layout and Music engraving
  Nuevou Flamenco style recordingsPublished by Creative Concepts in 1997 & 1998. Due date, Barcelona nights is the most successful song book ever written for Ottmar. He worked with me in the editing process. The feedback I hear from time to time about this book is that the page turns were well thought out and easily coordinate with the recording.
