In some scores, the piccolo is placed below the flute (this derives from seniority within the section), but these days highest instrument on top is seen as sensible. The location of the saxophone line varies a great deal. Some scores have saxes between horns and bassoons, others between clarinets and bassoons, which is the solution offered here. This diagram shows single wind, and it is best to give each instrument its own staff. However, if space constraints require it, two instruments of the same type may be combined on a single staff in the score (but not in parts).
