Orchestras nationwide borrow orchestral sets for their rehearsals and concerts, yet reduced staff time means that they are under strain to check sets when they arrive back. As a composer, I cannot even donate orchestral sets of my own music because of the apparent associated costs and lack of staff time. Cutting music library staff is disastrous.
