A very serious error in observation on my part. I usually quote a large job by looking at the score, and only by hour on short(ish) pieces that require a new setup, etc. This is the third score I've done for this composer -- and it has been a disaster. The working score was a photocopy of a photocopy of a pencil manuscript (the original was lost in a fire). That was hard enough, but I didn't realize that the composer was going to insist on every non-standard and difficult action that have no purpose other than that tiring 1970s-style cleverness (like those notes that cross staves, a behavior which occupies about 90% of the score). My income has been less than minimum wage on this, and it's still not done. :( Fortunately, I have given up client engraving, and this is my last leftover score.
