The second is, under no circumstances supply parts that double up with 1/3 on a part and 2/4 on a part. Doing so gains you instant disrespect from the horn section. And you risk losing your 2nd and 3rd parts entirely, depending on the amount of rehearsal time and the alertness of the players.
Actually I often do that in band music, for a very sepcific reason. The horn section in our Community Band is somewhat unpredictable, so I essentially write for 2 horn parts with occasional divisi. That gives me 1 & 3 on "horn 1," and 2 & 4 ON "HORN 2."
