Any suggestions or pointers to help with this will be gratefully received!If you search for ‘divisi’ on the list — and sort in reverse chronological order (which really should be the default!) — you’ll find many related threads, containing lots of hints and tips on how to attack this problem (e.g., <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lily pond-user/2016-08/msg00256.html>). Hope this helps, Kieren.It does - I simply hadn't thought of searching for "divisi"! Even after a cursory glance at some of the stuff that that search comes up with, I can see that this is going to be very helpful. Thanks David
Yes, this can be accomplished with the divisi engraver (or whatever it is called), but I would recommend to use this only in the full score, and keep all variants of e.g. Violin I in one part, including first/second half, solo parts etc. From what I have seen, that is customary in professional editions. I have seen a Messiaen Violin I part where the divisi is in (uh... what was it... ) 8 or 10 or so solo parts, and all were in the same physical Violin I 'part'.
For winds, this is a different matter. A separate part for each instrument is usual, although sometimes the parts for e.g. the two flutes are combined into one 'part'. I have seen that mostly in French editions, FWIW.
