I see a lot of similarities to your past template as outlined in http://mattiaswestlund.net/?p=514, along with hints from some of your other articles. You're using four reverb busses as usual, and you're sticking with your preference for one track per articulation, instead of using key switches or some kind of setup in which a track represents an instrument section with a midi channel per articulation. I notice that you group the articulations together, but the solos don't seem to be grouped with the rest? (I'm looking at first violins and seeing no solo). I'm assuming that's because the grouping also includes things like stereo width, which is markedly different between the section and the solo. Is that right, or are there more/other reasons?
I'm also curious as to why you prefer a track per articulation? I've tried a number of different ways of doing this and found that I like doing the same thing, but if anybody were to question me on it, I'm not sure how I would explain it - I guess I like knowing exactly what articulation is being played by a specific region without having to guess about which keyswitch was previously engaged, or which midi channel it is playing on, but admittedly I feel like the explosion of tracks is a little bit crazy.
