I'm not sure if there has been a thread yet about this great company from Tim Rodier: Omni Music Publishing, which is printing bound books of film scores, newly entered into Sibelius for easy reading.
So far they have done six:
BACK TO THE FUTURE
SILVERADO
WILLOW
BATMAN (1989)
THE MATRIX
TOTAL RECALL
There are more to come. The prices are relatively expensive (typically $85) to cover the licensing and printing fees. So far I have Total Recall and it was wonderful to read through while listening to the CD...really a dream come true, actually, as I have just enough musical background to find it interesting and not enough to be able to figure out the harmonies myself at a keyboard!

Cheers

I believe they also did an EDWARD SCISSORHANDS book which, sadly, appears out-of-print.

I'll definitely go for Total Recall if and when it is back in stock.

Curious what you mean by this.
I would guess that he means:
most osts present some of the cues (and not the complete score) in non chronological order, often mixed, edited together, etc.
So when you have the complete score in printed form, it would be difficult to match with the cd.
Unless there is a release of the complete score with all cues in chronological order.

It's a wonderful idea, but this first batch is not of interest to me at all. Some 50s, 60s, and 70s scores certainly would be, though.

Shipping rates to the UK are HUGE.... one score would cost nearly £120 at today's rates. The only one I would be interested in, Total Recall, isn't available at the moment and some aren't even available internationally for some reason (is there another company releasing them outside the US?).

I'm curious about the conditions under which this publisher's administrative decisions were made.
A half-dozen scores that date between 1985 & 1990 (isn't that a wide range?  ), one from 1999 and ... nothing prior to the 1980s ... and nothing outside of Hollywood.
Will there be any manuscripts published from the 1930s through the 1970s?
Will Omni Music publish film music from Italy, France, Japan, the U.K., etc.?
Is the mentality such that only music from summertime blockbusters will sell enough to cover production costs? If so, then customers are buying these books via fondness for sci-fi fantasies & action flicks more so than based upon the musical merits of the material...

I'm very late in responding to this but you are right. The titles are different and the CD has combined cues for a more pleasing listening experience. If you try to match the printed score with the disc, you'll go crazy.
