Score Composers Push Back on Turnaround Times

The picture locks later. The mix date does not move.\n\nComposers report scoring windows compressed to a fraction of what a comparable project allowed a few years ago, a consequence of post schedules built around fixed platform release dates.\n\nSome are now negotiating minimum delivery windows directly into agreements rather than absorbing the compression.\n\nOrchestral sessions are the pressure point, since booking a room and players cannot be done on short notice.\n\nMusic departments are testing earlier temp score involvement as a partial fix.
