Duncan- do you have a link to any of your tracks? I'm kinda curious to
here what an entirely-made-on-XL7 orchestra sounds like :)

I start with violins on tracks 1 & 2, then violas on 3. cellos & basses together (layered) on 4 unless there's a solo part. woods on 5 & 6. brass on 7 & 8. percussion (including tuned perc.) on 9 & 10 (old habits die hard!) then piano on 11. the other tracks are free for whatever featured/solo instruments there might be.
