A few things certainly concern me Tracey.

Firstly the Grade is definitely not 4/6. This piece will require some good musicians.

Another thing I noticed was that I think that the first section down to bar 57 could have been written in 12/8 time.

I was wondering why you did not have a second violin in there? Some of those cello lines would be more suited to the viola range(not that they cannot be played by cello mind you).

Therefore scoring it for a string orchestra and harp would have been good.

Poor cymbal player travelling all that way to the gig for two notes!

They really don't mind since they get paid anyway.

It is very exciting. I would love to hear this as the overture of a fantasy movie or video game.

Just a quick look suggests that the harp and Violin go back to 12/8 and the others stay in 4/4.

Here is how to do it! (From the online help file)

Multiple time signatures
Occasionally scores have two simultaneous time signatures with the same bar-length, such as 2/4
against 6/8. To input this sort of case:
* Create a 2/4 time signature and input the 2/4 music as normal
* Input the 6/8 music as triplet eighths (quavers), but use the Create > Tuplet dialog at least for
the first tuplet, switching on None and switching off Bracket, so it won’t show that they’re triplets
* You can copy the first 6/8 bar as a quick way to get the triplet rhythm for subsequent bars
* When all of the music has been inputted, delete the 2/4 time signature and drag the first note
rightwards until there’s enough space for a replacement time signature
* Type the 2/4 and 6/8 using text – start with nothing selected and use Create > Text > Other staff
text > Time signatures (one staff only)
* Click where you want to put the time signature to type it in as text, with a Return (on the main
keyboard) after the top number.
In cases where two or more time signatures with different bar lengths are required, such as 4/4 and 5/4:
