No Darcy please! That is not acceptable!

It may not be optimal, but it's certainly acceptable, and it's what's
done in every orchestra and probably has been for as long as there
have been orchestras (about which I have some issues with Andrew's
definition!). What makes it unacceptable in this one case?
And while I'm at it, is your statement that you cannot do the part on
two pages based on your perception that it is too crowded, and have
you compared it with Breitkopf parts for the standard literature
which are perfectly readable even if more crowded than many modern
parts?
