You can come back to this List of Topics easily as Clickable Links are provided at various places in the text. However there may well be other useful information below that point so do explore this page thoroughly.

You may prefer to print this page for reference. You can also access a similar help page when you are navigating the lists of works.

To see that just click on the

button at the top of each page.

The Current List is split into 28 alphabetical sections, one for each letter of the alphabet with the B section subdivided into 3 separate pages:-

B1 Baa - Bach
B2 Baci - Bu

and

B3 By (ie Byrd) - to the end of the B section.

Works are listed by Composer. Some of the details mentioned on this page such as Explanations of Abbreviations are also available by scrolling to the bottom of any of the Current List Pages.

3. Viewing and printing the Sample Pages and Delivered Scores

A Sample page is viewable for each score that is available for purchase. To see the sample page click on the link (the underlined name of the score) as in the picture below:

If your computer has the correct software components you should see a sample page. In the most common browsers these will open in a second window which can be closed once you have viewed or printed the page. (Technical note - To avoid frequent messages about secure and non secure modes you should be able to turn off warning messages in your browser.)

The Samples and Delivered Scores are in Portable Document Format (PDF).

The software that you need to view PDF files is Adobe Acrobat Reader (the current version is 5.xx) and it may already be installed on your Computer.

If you think you have Acrobat installed and you want to see if you can view and print PDFs then click the "Test PDF" link below. Clicking that link will open a new window and if you have Acrobat and your Browser is set up to make use of that program you should see a test file.

If that doesn't work or you want the latest version of Acrobat (it is free), you can get it from Adobe and instructions for downloading are availble by clicking on the link below:

If you cannot view Samples and you are sure that you have the correct version of Acrobat installed, it could be that your Web Browser is not set up correctly to use the Acrobat plug in or there is not enough memory to launch both the browser and Acrobat at the same time. In those situations it is probably better to get local help.

Customers occasionally report that they are having problems printing their scores. In these situations it is likely that the problem lies somewhere in the computer or printer setup. Again, local help may be needed. Sometimes we have suggested that the customer takes or sends a copy of the PDF file to another computer and tries printing again. The usual feedback on this suggestion is "It Worked". The PDF file system we use to deliver the music is a proven technology and What You See Is What Should Print.

When you are ready to order and you check an item on a page, it is important that you click the "Add or return to Shopping Cart" button near the bottom of a page before moving to another alphabetical page. You will then be taken to:

CHECKOUT  links to the Checkout page detailed below to review purchases and provide credit card details.

CANCEL  empties the Shopping Cart and return you to the Home Page.

Do not use your browser's forward or backward buttons to navigate the Shopping area

This page shows our acceptance of your order.

The prices are shown in US dollars but will be deducted from your credit card in your own currency at current rates of exchange.

Credit cards accepted: VISA, Mastercard, JCB (sorry, no debit cards).

Card details will be safely held on our server in secure encrypted code.

Once you have begun ordering you must NOT use your browser's Back or Forward buttons while navigating the Handlo site or else previously selected items may well be duplicated.This is because when using this method to add more scores you will not see a check mark by items already ordered. If you do re-check items that were previously checked you will duplicate those items.

You should now know enough about the way the site works to proceed. If you have printed this page then you can always check the basic procedures whilst you are placing orders and remember a      button is also available on each of the 26 pages.
