Hey Chuck, Just to corroborate what Javier is saying I often rename parts this way: Instead of Tpt 1, Tpt 2, Tpt 3, etc., I might put Tpt, Cornet, Flugal, etc. Even 1st Tpt, 2nd Tpt, etc. does not work; it will combine the tracks.
Besides, it's a good excuse for using fun names such as Sackbut & Ophicleide.
