I think a lot of these things make perfect sense for the concert world as well. It includes some updates to old conventions for use in modern scoring, as well as a few new ideas from my own experience. The following list is my standard practice for score layout. While concert scores have been typeset for centuries, session scores were done by hand until about twenty years ago and a lot of the ‘look’ is still based on how things were done in that style. Session scores are different from concert scores for several reasons. Perhaps they saw some online (never trust anything you see online, unless it is on this site of course!) or got advice from a friend who had a friend that went to Berkusc or UCLNYU! I cannot tell you the number of times I have been sent scores by students or hopeful orchestrators using terrible layouts. Scores should look good and be easy to read.
