Pricing
Last updated 29 July 2026
There are three prices here and no fourth. Which one a chart carries is a judgement about the work in it — not about how much you might be willing to pay for that subject, and not about how the file is printed. Every chart, at every tier, is the same kind of file.
The three tiers
Free
Charts whose content is common knowledge — a multiplication grid, an alphabet, the paper sizes. The work went into setting them well and making them print correctly, which is real work, but it is not ours to charge for. They also let you see exactly what the printing is like before you spend anything.
Standard — $1.50
The usual case. One subject, laid out so it reads across a room, with the data checked against a source rather than recalled. Most of the catalogue sits here.
Premium — $2.50
Charts where the content had to be worked out rather than copied — a fingering derived from where the hand actually crosses, a scale computed from the tuning — and then checked against the instrument or the standard it teaches. You are paying for the part that is hard to get right and easy to get wrong.
What the tier does not change
The file. Every chart ships as print-ready PDFs in A4, A3 and A2, with every letterform converted to outlines so nothing shifts on a printer that lacks the font, on a white background so a home printer is not asked to flood a page with ink. A free chart is produced the same way as a premium one; there is no better version withheld for money.
The download window is the same too: 90 days from purchase, all formats, as many times as you need within it.
Prices move; what you paid does not
We change prices in both directions. A chart may drop a tier, or be given away, or be reworked into something worth more. When that happens we do not refund the difference to people who bought it earlier, and we do not charge them more either.
The reason is that you bought a sheet at the price on the label that day, not a claim about what it would cost later. Refunding every drop would mean never lowering a price, which costs everyone who comes after you. A rise never reaches a purchase already made, and your download keeps working for its full 90 days regardless.
A chart that is actually faulty is a different matter entirely, and is covered by the refund policy. The formal wording of everything above is in the terms.
Tiers can be reassigned
A chart is placed in a tier when it is reviewed, and it can be moved later — usually because it was reworked, occasionally because we judged it wrong the first time. The tier shown on the storefront is always the current one.
