I have been approached to submit a sampling of orchestration for a Broadway style musical. When I meet with the composer and lyricist they also want to discuss payment for my time. I have never "orchestrated" another composers work, just my own, so I have no idea what would even be fair. Any suggestions? should I charge a flat rate per piece, per measure or per hour of work? Thanks in advance for every one's input

I have just been given a small commission for a compostition for Soprano Voice. Any suggestions on where I might find possible lyrics to use? This is my first attempt at a serious vocal work and am just not sure where to get text....i am definately not a lyricist!;) Thanks in Advance
