I have
composed a large (some 236 measures!) work for full concert
band. That was the easy part, and here is the notational
problem.
I have composed my score in pencil on paper, as is my custom, and am ready now to start entering the score, on my 2002b software. I want to do the score "in C", and then extract the parts in their appropriate transpositions. That (I think) I can handle!
Here's where I need help! In the score I would like to be able to pair certain instruments on a single staff, like, Flutes 1&2, Oboes 1&2, etc. If I entered a pair of instruments in the score in a single staff, is it possible then to extract the parts for Flute 1 and for Flute 2 separately?! (And, of course, also for Oboes, Bassoons, Alto Saxophones, Horns, Trombones...)
If there is no way to do this, does it mean that one needs to enter each instrument on a separate staff in order to be able to extract each part separately. Right, or not?! The down-side to that is that it makes for a very long (vertical) score when you have a large instrumentation.
Well, there is my question. I will be most grateful for your expert commentz.
