Yeah, I’m in agreement with you on Galley view. If you have 5 reed players and they each are playing multiple instruments, Galley quickly becomes a mess. Instrument Filters really are a necessity. There was a recent thread about doubling order here, but I’m not sure there were any solutions (other than in Finale LOL)
With 5 reeds I’m so used to thinking about the particular player and their doubling abilities that it doesn’t really bother me, but I could see certain instrument orderings (like Picc on the bottom if the Bari player is doubling) being pretty disorienting.
