I guess I was more interested in what the end product would
look like. It used to be that a score would suffice. Today
it seems like a demo recording might be necessary.

If you join one of the writers' organisations, they have advice
available on how to improve your chances of a sale, as well as a wide
client base, all of whom writers can access easily.

In America, ASCAP, and in the UK, the performing Rights Society are the
most widely used.

If the tune is good, then a MIDI backing track rendered to an audio
format will probably be enough, unless the song relies on any special
instrumental or vocal effects.
