Hi all,

In the score I'm working on, the composer changes the 
instrument and bracketing order.

>From start to left side of page 23:
[Fl-Ob-Cl-BCl-Bsn] [Hn-Trp-Trb-Tba] [Perc1/2] [Vn1/2-Vla-Vcl-Cb]

>From right side of page 23 to end:
[Fl-Cl-BCl-Trp-Vn1-Vcl] [Bsn-Hn-Trb-Tba-Vn2-Vla] [Ob] [Perc1/2] [Cb]

Any suggestions for the least kludgy way to do this, especially 
considering that the change begins mid-page?

My thought is to make just page 23 a visual change, relabeling 
staves with expressions and adding graphical brackets, as I did 
earlier in the score where he creates just a few measures of 
re-ordered score.

Then for the full changed pages 24-28, I would add brackets to the 
instrument groups (which would make a messy overlap in its 
unoptimized condition), then optimize those pages, drag the 
staves into place, and delete the original brackets from those 
staves. That should leave the instruments in order and the new 
brackets correctly positioned, and the brackets should not 
appear on the already-optimized pages 1-23.

How does that sound?

Dennis
