I agree with Landon -- group the concertante instruments above the strings and below the winds but keep the score order of the obbligato instruments the same as in the score overall. Winds high to low then Strings. I've seen some manuscript samples of such scores which put the obbligato instruments at the top of the score, although I prefer to see them in the middle and set apart from the other instruments with their own bracket. I will add that I also prefer to see the staves for the obbligato instruments throughout the score, even if they are tacet for a number of systems. -- David H.
