If saving the time is at issue, by all means - computer way. I used
pen (actually - pencil - much faster) - paper - copier for years and
years. To produce a one average 12 stave page simple part with a
fair number of 16ths than someone else besides self will be able to
read took about 30 minutes. Then i tried a few programs, and went by
reducing the time needed, with results improved. The same part on
Lilypond takes me now under 5 minutes (no bluffing here, - i have
set the keyboard with note names under left fingers and values in
the right, and have templates for every possible set-up prepared,
just enter the notes). The learning curve (though the improvement
never actually stops) to produce the very first good part, was about
two - three hours.
The advantages are: an immediate redesign of number of pages, sizes,
line breaks, bars- no bar lines, ad intinitum, and the whole
library of music on a flash drive. Now i just keep a printer in the
rehearsal room, and no one complains about my handwriting!

Thank you Eugene,
I use pen and paper copies now but, since so many collegues seem
to be
producing computer set parts these days, thought that using the
appropriate software might not be as time consuming as I feared (I
can't quite believe that it takes less time to enter a note via a
keyboard than by writing it). I might stick to photocopied MS
parts........
