The charts...There is so much to say about music charts and how they are made. If anything, a chart is just a piece of paper that has information about a specific song. Most pieces are fairly simple in terms of their structure. You have a verse, a chorus, another verse. etc. The chart is supposed to give the performer all the information about how to perform a song and when to perform it, and here is where it starts to get messy. If the person who wrote the chart wants to save space by writing many repeats, double codas, or skips sections by just writing "Go back to A and then skip to F..." well... All these 'shortcuts' makes playing 'Mary had a little Lamb' almost impossible or just simply a nightmare. Furthermore, bands are not always lucky enough to have a regular set of musicians and most often have to hire substitutes. For a substitute musician that has never played 'Mary had a little lamb'  reading and performing the music correctly is already a hard task, adding a "puzzle" creates chaotic situations. That's where this company's name came from: Bettrmusik, and not because our music is better, but you can perform the music better by having better and cleaner charts. Charts that are easy to read make musicians play the music better, even just by mental association. The hard to read charts are frustrating to play and end up in early retirement. Even rehearsals become much more productive and 'positive' if the charts are easy to read. They become more productive because the band is able to concentrate more on how the sound is being produced as opposed to when it should be produced. LRC (Linear Reading Charts) is how we conceptualize our music charts.  Jumping back and forth leads, in most situations, to a failure in the execution of the music as written. At Bettrmusik we assure quality before quantity and that's why we offer you a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If there is something wrong (doubt it..) with the music we sent you we will fix it for free. Again, our charts are LRC (Linear Reading Charts) which means that your musicians won't be confused by hard to read road maps which turns your chart into a labyrinth as opposed to a straight road. The chart you will receive will be inside a cover envelope to protect it and also to easily store it.
     We use 3 different types of paper. The first one is a 32lb. White (95 Brightness, Smooth finish) and the other two are 67lb. Vellum Bristol (Cardstock) in Ivory and White colors. All being Wausau Papers. Well, enough said. Experience Bettrmusik today. Click on the picture below to see an example of our charts.
