We currently have 44,689 licensed Scorch files on our site. There are only a few things to keep in mind when you are interested in purchasing one of these files.

1. To view, play and print the files you need to make sure you have the free Scorch plug-in installed on your computer. This plug-in is compatible with most operating systems like Windows and Mac and most browsers.
    

2. Due to publisher licensing restrictions, you will only be able to view the first page of these scores but you will be able to play, transpose and print this first page of most Scorch scores for free. This is to allow you to see how it looks when printed.
    

3. While most Scorch scores can be transposed and printed, there are some that do not allow this, such as some guitar tab and lead sheet music. This is again due to publisher restrictions.
    

4. Once you purchase a Scorch score, you will be able to view all pages before or after you print the music. You will be allowed to print each score 2 times.
   
    

Licensed Scorch scores are different from our public domain library in the sense that we allow you to view all pages of our public domain scores at any time.

We are always here to help should you have any questions about your order and we will always make sure you are 100% happy with your purchase. If you hit a snag or make a mistake, we can always reset another print for you!

A common question we get is how come we don't offer these for free? The answer is simple:

Imagine if you were a songwriter and wrote a hit song that was published. You would get paid for every time someone buys your song. You and the publisher have what is called a copyright - that is the right that is given to someone to have a copy your song, for a fee.

There is also copyright fee that goes to the recording artist, the publisher, the lyricist etc. By illegally offering the music for free, the musicians and publishers are not getting what they deserve, a copyright fee.

When you buy music from us, all the copyright fees are looked after using our publishing arrangements with companies like Hal Leonard Music,  Alfred Music Publishers and many other publishers. Everyone must pay to print these selections as we have to pay a license fee every time you purchase and print a song that is copyright protected. These will be songs that are from current artists and older artists like the Beatles, big-band selections and most songs that date post 1923.
