The source scores are piano scores to be orchestrated for the specified lineups, and the templates are a guide to how you should lay out your scores, either by hand or in a score writer such as Sibelius or Finale. Instrument doubles such as for Cor Anglais can include instrument changes during performance, and must observe any key signature changes required.
You should now commence work as soon as possible on your major assessment task, as all tutorials from now on will be related to this material.
