Hello everyone!
I'd like to address those of you who have experience playing in the
harmony of an orchestra, eg. french horn or flute.
I'm entering a piece where my printed score puts two horns in D on the same
staff (and 2 in F, and two flutes, and to oboi, etc.).
Mostly, they are noted as two-notes-chords, sometimes unisono with two
stems, sometimes single notes marked "a 2", sometimes marked "1." or "2.".
Now I'd like to know if each of the players has got his own special part
or if you are playing off the combined part, extracting what you play
'in real time' :-) . If the second is true, it's much easier to handle
with lilypond. If the first is true, I'd like to enter the music for the
individual parts and have them combined somehow automatically (this might
be nearly impossible).
Or, on the other hand, the score might contain one staff for each of the
parts seperately, not combining several of them into one staff. But this
might not be readable. I'm not very familiar with orchestral scores (
reading them/conducting from them).
What's the usual way of dealing with this in printed music?
(another similar problem might be e.g. strings, marked as "divisi").
Greetings,
Dirk.
