While my orchestral scores have varied from 11x14 to 12x17.

My piano variations, at around 25 pages, sells for just over $20. These are printed on heavy CMC paper (I think you...

for the life of me I cannot find it!!!! I'm presently working on two large orchestral works. the particular instance is in ONE of those two scores, but they are 100 pages long. I tried to search for them, but simply couldn't find it. Haha, that was a legendary answer! since it's my own music, I MAY...

yeah, it's very tight. if I recall it's all 8th notes.

I have a passage that is divisi strings (notated as split stems, up and down, as they have different rhythms), which ends on a doublestop for all those instruments, then continues unisono. obviously, I've marked the beginning of the divisi passage with "div." my problem is, once I get to t...
