I girded my loins and returned to Milky Way. I worked all night on smoothing out the lumps in mm. 61-75. It’s better, but I still have some polishing to do. The subito p at m.64 still sounds gulpy, but that might not be an issue with an actual orchestra.

I’ll keep listening and make some decisions.
