Quite agree. Some of the organisation of percussion in test pieces is a 
disgrace and is down right shoddy. Also, publishers fail to get even the 
basic things right like page turns. Surely, in this day of Sibelius 7 you can 
get everything perfect with relative ease and it just seems that some 
publishers can't be bothered or don't take enough pride in their work. If I'd 
had written similar parts for my degree compositions I would have failed.
