How do I make key changes?
Almost every PraiseCharts arrangement comes with at least two keys to choose from, usually the key from the original recording, and one other. We select the keys based on a number of factors: the popular recording, singability, playability for brass and playability for rhythm section (i.e. guitar). When you open Adobe Reader, click on the desired key in the left Bookmark column. Note that Adobe Reader is not a music based program; therefore, there is no way to dynamically adjust the song to any key you would like. Outside of the keys we provide, you can request a custom key change within three semitones (half steps) of the original key are $5 for the lead sheet only, $15 for the piano/vocal chart or choir part, $30 for instrument packs and $35 for the orchestration. For key changes that are four to six semitones from the original, the lead sheet only is $25, the piano/vocal is $45, and instrument packs are $80. Orchestrations will be quoted on an individual basis. Three semitone or less key changes of Click, rhythm and band tracks are $20, and Multi Tracks are $25. For track changes further than 3 semitones, we will reply to your request with a quote for your approval before commencing the key change. Key changes further from the original key can be done, but the arranger will quote a price based on the amount of time it will take to re-voice the chart. Please use the request form or contact support@praisecharts.com for key changes.
