Thanks for the suggestions, MG. I have the flutes & oboe channel open at the time I'm using both vibes and harp, but I've decided that, in ensemble, it's not necessary to split the vibes and harp apart. It sounds okay for my purposes.

In my previous scores, I had put the tuba on the same channel as the trombones, and it worked to my liking. However, in this score, I was "hoist on my own petard", as the sfzp effect I am using in the trombones was affecting the tuba, so that it no longer sounded like a unison with the bari sax.

Due to your suggestions, and my taking a look at the possibilities, I found two transcription errors in the harp part, so I'm reposting the file to clean it up. Thanks for your help.
