Speaking to one side of this issue, but possibly a consideration being weighed by the pubs that don't offer supplemntal parts, as a composer-arranger of the band piece, I'd probably be more concerned about the decisions the director made as to what he doubled, what he grouped, in that the piece is going to be credited to me but would be very unlike my arranging decisions, with no disclaimer made from the stage or in the program (I would presume). And frankly it might sound like tonal pasture patties.
For what interest it may be to know, supplemental parts are routinely included in the evangelical Christian anthem-orchestration market, where publishers include parts for saxophones, treble-clef baritones, string reductions (for use by synth players) and other instruments that are not usually used in the anthem demo's recording orchestra for which the orchestration was written. These are prepared by staff in post-production/pre-publication, not by the original arranger. --Richard _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
