Kim, Score looks excellent. If I may offer some unsolicited advice, I think it would be helpful to indicate whether the horns are in Bb Alto or Bb Basso. You mention it's a work in progress, so perhaps you were planning to address this later. In any case, as a horn player, I feel that indicating Alto or Basso would greatly help the rehearsal and performance process. Ryan
