 the biggest score so far for me is a piece for big orchestra, 6
soloists, live-electronics and fixed media from last year.

Here is the pdf:
https://www.selma.hfmdk-frankfurt.de/selmafile/f/4e45ac51ea/

It's only 40 Pages with 383 bars, but there are 49 independent parts
with quite complicated divisi sections and I was very happy (and
admittedly pleasantly surprised), how smooth everything went
considering the amount of source files.

The only really painful part was the partcombiner which seems very
buggy, but was indispensable as I needed to save as much vertical
space as possible.

If anybody is planning something like that don't hesitate to contact
me. The production process probably would have been close to
impossible without tools like make, git, emacs and quite some lisp
coding and I don't mind sharing my experiences.
