I think it depends on the kind of music. In the first appearance of a piece of music, especially one with complicated temporal events, uncommon or new elements, low stylistic precedent, etc., the per-item price would end up being minimum wage. I did a 4-page solo piece for which I received close to $600 (from a happy customer) because the size and placement of a relatively few elements was precise, and the piece went back and forth for editorial examination for several dozen times over 18 months.
