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.

I put "unis." at the double-stop.

Yes, I know the bracket essentially ends the divisi marking, but, you know - belt and suspenders. One can never be too clear.

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. It lists not only instrumentation, but publisher information and timings, among other things. There is also a helpfu...

Re: has anyone ever heard of "Daniels Instrumentation Standard"?

Actually, my example would indicate E-flat Clarinet, not Bass (= means [meant?] tertiary instrument) and no doubling for the 2 Bassoons at all. It seems that Daniels has changed the format (Daniels himself passed away a few years ago) since I retired in 2018. Perhaps the librarian could get you acce...

Re: has anyone ever heard of "Daniels Instrumentation Standard"?

Yes, I (and most librarians in the US) am familiar with this. No symbol separates the ww from the brass - only a space. So, *3*3=32 4331 means: 3 Flutes (one doubling Piccolo) 3 Oboes (one doubling EH) 3 Clarinets (one doubling E-flat Cl) 2 Bassoons 4 Horns 3 Trumpets 3 Trombones 1 Tuba The major sh...
