Orchestral sets and vocal sets in the UK

This section reproduces in more legible format the results of a search on the UK site Encore! which specialises in the presentation of library sources in the UK of parts for orchestral and choral music (superceding several sources such as the British Union Catalogue of Orchestral Sets). With the space afforded to this site, Bluntinstrument has realised shorthand (instrument names, publisher names, etc.) and added details which would normally need to be searched for.

Key: Wind and brass are arranged: 0000 0000 = flutes/oboes/clarinets/bassoons .. horns/trumpets/trombones/tubas.
A "+" sign before a number means that one player of that instrument will need to be able to play an alternative member of the family (flute player using piccolo, oboe player using cor anglais)
