I don't quite understand the distinction between "engraver" and "copyist" inherent in your discussion. In these days of Finale, isn't the engraver of the score the same as the "copyist" of the parts? Is it not the case that the engraver of both then has to act as editor and create parts that are most likely to produce the best performance with the least amount of confusion? Why shouldn't the conductor get the same consideration as the performers? -- David W.
