Preparing Scores for Beginners

The book 'Music Notation Preparing Scores and Parts' was obviously for a course offered by Berkleemusic Online. And that was my only objection to the book. The information was rudimentary and would make a good reference or workbook for a musician that is just starting out to learn orchestration and part writing. I have a four movement symphony under my belt so I was looking for something more advanced to use as a reference for those difficult scoring problems. Other than that one objection the book had plenty of information to learn and was easy to understand.
