Ryan, better to have two separate parts, just like Violin I & Violin II. The less to look at and process, the better.

(The instrumentation is Violin I, Violin II, Viola, Cello I, Cello II, String Bass.) My question concerns the cello part. Should I extract the cello parts together in one part on two staves, or in separate parts, like the violins?What in your opinion would be best for the performers, and best for the rehearsal process and performance?Happy Thanksgiving!Ryan _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
