It is very common for key signatures to be omitted for Horn. As the
notes themselves are correct transpositions, it looks ok.

There is also a discrepancy between the transposition direction
(down 5th or up 4th). Some scores actually place an ambitus-sort-of
note at the beginning of the horn staff to indicate the transposition
direction.

One other comment that I think it would also be a good addition to the
template is that between the differing instrument choirs (woodwinds,
brass, voice, strings), there should be visual 'space' in addition to
the grouping itself.
