One more little contribution to this: some users will print the score in A3 booklet mode. Then the odd-even status of the pages should be kept, because often there is an acceptable page turn possibity at the bottom of even pages. Depending on cases, an empty page just after the cover page should be ...

Then please append one more procedure to our page!

Then an important step is finding the right threshold to convert jpg images to monochrome. Select an image which has many 16th notes and natural sharp. Run this batch: @FOR /L %%A IN (10,5,95) DO magick p%1.jpg -compress group4 -threshold %%A%% p%%A%1.tif dir/on p??%1.tif entering the image number. ...

Each jpg should have a size about 4000x5000

I suppose the parts are the arrangement's? Please check my job.

B is what I think the correct output should be, though there are options for exactly how you shorten the note. I slightly prefer the first one. C I think I've seen, but it looks horrible to my eye, and D, whil...

If I may still bother you: 1: The very short slur between an appogiatura and the next note should not collide with the stem of this note, if you can shorten it a little. 2: beams of 16th notes should not come closer than 1.5 inter-staffline to either note. Often there is o...

I'm not sure I fully understand courtesy accidentals, though when playing I often find them very useful. Is there a reason that there isn't one in the viola part 1st movement bar 104 on the E flat (lower note in the chord on the 3rd crotchet of the bar)? yeah, there is a natural bar 102. When it's ...

Cello part:

meas. 21: move the accent of meas. 22 backwards.

meas. 35 add a courtesy B flat.

Viola part: (the first "real" misprints so far )

Allegro molto...
meas 30: want a courtesy D natural.
meas 97-99 want a E natural.

Last Allegro:
Review end of meas. 90.

I have proofread only Clarinet and Violin so far. Of course many slurs, beam etc. would not be the same with me. I'l try to limit myself. Clarinet, Pastorale: Only 1 l required in the title. Meas 57, 1st note: It is usual to add an unnecessary courtesy natural. Violin, Allegro, meas. 55: please repr...

I'm printing the material and will start the job soon, but Sibley-Rochester had accustomed us to better scans!
