I have had people send me a rough draft in hand-written music what
they want and asked me to notate it for them.
They did not have a notation package and have maybe recorded it as a
track and then scribbled it down by hand and want it produced in a
professional looking hard copy.
Some are provided nice and clean and clear and for others the hand-
written stuff is scruffy and incomplete.
We are talking about the same sort of thing just with different
provided base materials to work from.
So my comment stands.. depends on what is provided as to the work
involved and the associated costs.
