David has prepared a document with score markings for Otello. I have copied and pasted the text of that document here, but there is formatting (bold, italics, etc.) that has not be retained in this plain text e-mail.
So, I have created a PDF file of David's document and posted it on the website. Go to the Chorus News Page (http://www.oratoriosocietyofny.org/ChorusNews.html) and find the graphic icon for the Opera Orchestra Information. Below the graphic you will see the text "[Click here for score notes]". Click on that, and the PDF file will open. You'll see David's nicely formatted document, suitable for printing.

Please pencil in these markings so we can save time during rehearsal.
I will refer to the passages in three ways, trying to make it easy and fast for all to find.
For example:
1) Page number and measure number (P.13, MS 38)
2) Page number and rehearsal number (P13, RN 17)
3) Page/System/Measure (13/3/4)
