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.

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

The software that you need to view PDF files is Adobe Reader and it may already be installed on your Computer.

If you think you have Adobe Reader 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 Adobe Reader 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 Adobe Reader (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 Adobe Reader installed, it could be that your Web Browser is not set up correctly to use the Adobe Reader plug in or there is not enough memory to launch both the browser and Adobe Reader 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:

On the Shipping Cart page is a Google Checkout button that will take you to the page where you can make your payment. Google Checkout requires you to have or set up an account. The account is free and can be used to pay for orders from any merchant displaying a Google Checkout button. You must provide Credit Card details but the card will be charged only for orders you place. Your card details will be held securely by Google Checkout and only the last four digits of the card number will be passed to Handlo.

If you change your mind before confirming your order you can still return to the Handlo catalogue pages or the Shopping Cart to revise your order.

This page shows our acceptance of your order.

The prices are shown on the Shopping Cart in US dollars and British Pounds but will be charged in British Pounds. Your credit card will be charged in your own currency at current rates of exchange.

In some cases you may find items in your shopping cart if you believe that you had previously abandoned an order. This can happen if  you resume browsing without closing your web browser. The Shopping Cart always shows what will be processed by Google Checkout, so please check it carefully before checking out.

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.
