Thanks for the reply!
1. I write my scores in concert pitch in bass and treble only as it makes it easier to keep track of things. I create all the transpositions and appropriate clefs before printing the score and parts. Makes it easier for me to see string crossings too - I'm a cellist, so it's just the same an octave higher.
2. I'm writing for a pianist who has exceptionally big hands - he can hit all the chords in the introduction section, non-arp.
3. Got it, fixed w/ 8v bassa line
4. Mostly because it makes the accidentals easier to see; I can't figure out how to get Finale to give arp symbols physical presence (i.e. so the program spaces out the measure so as not to make them bump into anything else). I guess I could make those measures wider manually.
Any comments on the music would be appreciated too
