Cues must be audible to the musician reading the part. Specifics Clefs and key signatures must appear at the beginning of each line. Parts for transposing instruments should be written in the proper key. Harp pedaling should be left to the performer. The Timpani part should NOT be included in the percussion part.
Percussionists prefer parts in score form.
Notation should be from high to low. These positions must be consistently maintained. Complicated string divisions should be written on separate staves. If there are deviations from standard musical notation, an explanation should appear prior to the first page of music. Please do not expect orchestra librarians to provide additional proofreading services.
