That's right, Jorge, it is a common practice to notate parts for the same
instrument on a single staff using multiple voices. It is a practical way to
save space. However, if the parts are very different, there may be times that,
for example, flute 1 will be on its own staff and flute 2 on a separate staff.

Hello Bill. Thank you very much. It was a nice help.
Something came to my mind.
Maybe that's the way to go when we write music for orchestra for example
writing the two flutes in one part but two voices.
What could you tell me about that?
Myself before knowing Goodfeel I never saw braille orchestral scores.
Only piano ones.
I had to improvise in my Composition and other theory classes years ago.
But is it the way that symphonical music should be writen?
Thank you for the information.
