haven't done these kinds of string parts in a long time, refresh my
memory please?
i am preparing parts for an orch piece in which the section divisis
change often. i will be preparing by desk (1.2. / 3.4. etc.) and
often this will necessarily require 2 staves. however, in those
cases where 2 parts can easily be included on one stave (same
rhythm, 2 different notes), it is ok to do so, yes?
Absolutely. Although you could use stems-up, stems-down for clarity.
But if it's just harmony notes in the same rhythm, dyads should be
fine. We see it all the time. And in case of just a brief
difference in rhythms, that measure could use stems up & down.
