Re: Tried to use the smallest "allowed" staff size, but I think I still could include more measures per page

Yes

The second page looks much better.

The first page looks like a Professional Composer PDF from the 1980's.

Re: Slurs as phrase marks

I assume you meant "separately tongued". Autocorrect? In my experience string players often ignaore printed bowings (either bowing marks or slurs). If this is an orchestral work then you will need to rely on the conductor's musical sense. Perhaps a footnote in the score might be warranted ...

Re: publishers' "house style" manuals

what I see in common is they look better in SCORE :D I agree with you, but I wonder if that is because only serious engravers still use it. In other words it may be the expertise of the person using the software rather than the software itself. Still, it's amazing that such a great result is accomp...

Re: divisi / non-divisi / unis. question

I just encountered an identical situation.

Re: Numbering instruments on shared staves

For your first question: Since you use Dorico, why not turn off condensing (manually) for the flutes for those three pages? Then the Flute 2 staff will be hidden (assuming you have "hide empty staves" activated) and the score label will just show Flute 1. For the second situation: I think ...

David Daniels was an author of a well-known resource for orchestra librarians titled Orchestra Music. It has gone through many editions over the years and now has an online companion.
