Hi Karlin,

Thanks for the compliment. I take great pride in the visual appearance of my 
music — it’s nice to know that my efforts are appreciated by others.

The piece I’m engraving right now — under pressure of a fast-approaching 
deadline (seemingly as always!?) — is a wind ensemble piece with almost 50 
individual parts (6 clarinets, 2 bass clarinets, 3 flutes, 4 horns, etc.). Horn 
I (e.g.) has some dynamics which are “shared” (read: simultaneously identical) 
with other Horn parts, but also has dynamics unique to its own part; the 
complexity of putting the shared dynamics in some variable and either \tag-ging 
out or simultaneous-ing in the individual dynamics would be inelegant to the 
point of insanity.

But many thanks for the response!
Kieren.
