Deliver music at the click of a button
PartHero mirrors your existing orchestral process and makes each handoff easier to manage.
1. Catalog and prepare each work
Upload your music, verify instrumentation, and prepare your concert programs.
2. Assign & deliver
Coordinate principal assignments, upload bowings, then send parts to your musicians via email.
Purpose-built software for orchestral library operations.
From metadata-rich scores to verified part delivery, every feature is designed around librarian workflows, long-term reuse, and operational continuity.
Daniel's Integration
Automatically pull metadata from Daniel's orchestral reference so most public-domain works do not need manual entry.
Principal Assignment Emails
Send assignment emails to principals, enabling clear communication and structured assignment handoff.
One-Click Part Delivery
After assignments are reviewed by the librarian, deliver parts directly by email to the musicians who need them.
License Tracking and Expiration
Track rented-score licenses and expiration dates so your library stays compliant without separate spreadsheets.
Bowings and Clean Parts
Support both bowed parts and clean parts so different rehearsal and performance use cases are covered.
Flexible Part Overrides
Override which musicians receive a part when a standard mapping does not fit a specific piece, edition, or ensemble need.
Fast Roster Management
Import your master roster via CSV, then load principals and core members into program rosters in one click.
Email View Tracking
Track who received assignment/delivery emails and who viewed them, so follow-up is targeted and informed.
Do the Work Once, Reuse Forever
Create a score record once, then reuse it across future seasons and programs without rebuilding your setup each time.
Continuity and Risk Reduction
Institutional knowledge stays in the system, so if staffing changes happen, a new librarian can continue from the exact current state.
PartHero is built where orchestra library work gets specific.
General arts administration platforms cover broad planning and personnel operations. PartHero focuses on the library-specific work that happens after the program is chosen: parts, bowings, licenses, delivery, and reuse.

Part-level logic
Assignments and delivery happen at the specific part level, not just as shared folders or generic file links.
Bowed and clean part workflows
PartHero accounts for the real string-library handoff between principals, bowed parts, and clean part delivery.
Rental-aware library records
License and rental expiration tracking is built into the library workflow instead of living in a separate spreadsheet.
Based on reviewed public materials in the competitive landscape.
