# Requests for new music

We always welcome suggestions for new music to add to John Fletcher Music. If you would like to make a request, please follow the steps below.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Step 1

* If you cannot find the rehearsal file you need on the site, contact us at <email@johnfletchermusic.org>
* Include as much detail as you can: i.e. Title, Key, Composer/Arranger/Editor, Voices (e.g. SA, SATB, 3-part mixed etc.), Publisher and Date of Publication.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Step 2

If we don’t have a copy, and we are able to add the music to the site, we will ask you to send us a copy of the score via email, post, or online file transfer. The requirements will differ slightly, depending on whether the work of the composer/arranger/editor is in- or out-of-copyright.

**Out-of-Copyright:** We will ask you for a copy of the music via email or post. Alternatively if the music is freely available on the web (e.g [CPDL](https://www.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page) – Choral Public Domain Library or [IMSLP](https://imslp.org/) – International Music Score Library Project) you can send the link, but do mention the editor and publisher information so that we can clearly identify the edition.

**In-Copyright**: We will request a copy from you. You should own or purchase enough copies to include the allocation of one copy to John Fletcher Music to comply with UK copyright legislation. This copy of the music can be sent to us via email, post, or online file transfer.

* Hardcopy (for those in the UK): We will supply a UK postal address on request. If you would like the score to be used for a subsequent performance please enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope for its return to you.
* Digital copy: You can email the file or transfer it to us via a free file transfer service ( e.g. [WeTransfer](https://wetransfer.com/)). If scanning, please follow our [scanning guidelines](/help/using-the-rehearsal-files/requests-for-new-music/scanning-guidelines.md) to ensure the file quality will be suitable for our score-reading software
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}

That’s it! We will notify you when the files are available on John Fletcher Music.
