I'll add a note to this. Many librarians and others feel that since
we all play F horns (whether it's French horn or horn in F is
unclear,) they'll put only the F part out on the stand. If they're
bound together there's no option.
Here much of the music is photocopied with the original notation
part omitted. Dang!
Hmmmm. According to Clint, the MOLA standards for size and
formatting are what the PLAYERS in major orchestras want to see, and
a good orchestral librarian should take the trouble to give the
players what they want. A poor librarian won't KNOW what you want,
so your should ask. And of course most of the people doing the
photocopying are not musicians in the first place, and mess up page
turns that were OK in the original but impossible in their
copies--especially in the string parts.
