How can I get lost parts

[lezuls]

I'm new to this game of Librarian and want to know how I can get lost parts for music that has been given to us, with out having to ask individual publishers.

This is a common question by many bands and there's no easy way. You will have to ask individual publishers, I'm afraid. Don't go to sheet music retailers like Just Music as they don't stock the parts seperately.

You may have a little trouble getting parts from the bigger publishers, but from small publishers it should be a piece of cake. If parts are not readily available, the publisher may grant permission for you to copy out the part(s) yourself, although don't count on this one!

If it's old yellow music you probably won't get the parts, but it's worth a shot.

Another band may have spare parts, or better still they may be willing to sell you their used set!

Sorry, but the only way to get brand new parts (legally) is to contact the publisher.
