March book
Generate print-ready march book PDFs per part, with cut lines and correct front/back pairing.
A march book is the small sheet music folder that musicians carry on their instrument while marching. SinfoniaOne generates one print-ready PDF per part from it – all you have to do is print, cut and tuck in.
What SinfoniaOne generates for you
- Small slips in march book format, two per A4 page.
- Cut lines so you can separate the slips cleanly.
- a numbering that makes sure the front and back match up correctly when printing double-sided (duplex).
- a table of contents of the pieces included.
Create a march book
Add and arrange pieces
Add the pieces that should go into the march book.
Order and number are two different things
You can set the order of the pieces in the march book separately from the visible march book number. That way a piece's printed number stays the same over the years, even if you change the order in the book.
Choose a part and export
Choose the part you want to print the march book for (e.g. "1st trumpet in B♭") and tap "Export". SinfoniaOne generates the print-ready PDF for exactly this part.
Print and cut
Print the PDF double-sided (duplex), cut along the cut lines – and the march book slips for this part are done. Repeat the export for each additional part.
Tip for duplex printing
Make sure your printer is set to double-sided and flips on the long edge. Thanks to the numbering, the front and back of each slip will then line up correctly.
