Hi, that would be awesome, and thank you so much for sharing the code for Wozzeck, that's exactly what I was looking for. I've been trying to find my way out for days, and even though I'm making steps in the good direction, it's not an easy job. A commented example on how to organise a modern large orchestral score and parts with divisi, desks, solos, temporary staves, and so on would be extremely useful, at least for me. I couldn't find such an example in the otherwise awesome documentation, and I was thinking to contribute myself once I'll be more familiar. Thank you!
