This chapter covers several context-based variants to the transcription process. The first section outlines common source and target formats, their characteristics, and how they integrate with the transcription process. The second section then explains how to transcribe global, foundational, and dependent layers from the audio and MIDI stems of multi-file sources. Finally, the third section explains how to transcribe to target formats with limited sheet music space, namely reductions and rhythm charts. The section activities help learners explore common process variants of music transcription. In summary, this chapter demonstrates how to navigate the intricacies of transcribing different types of source and target formats.
