Ok. I know how to notate the sharps and flats but I might have missed in the
big manual how to notate naturals and there are a lot of them in this piece.
For anyone familiar with the chopin prelude in c minor right hand and possibly
left hand there are a bunch of naturals. How do I notate them as when I hear
it it will sound a mess. Here's what I have so far in the first violin part. I
really hope all note durations are right. I know the rule about accidentals how
it only as far as I recall effects the bar they are in unless otherwise notated
but I'm so picky that I want to know they will be playing a natural in case
they don't know the rule of accidentals. My instructed was not specific weather
he wanted us to orchestrate for a amateur or pro orchestra so I'm just being
over cautious.

Just one question: Are these notes from your actual score?
Then it is no wonder that "it will sound a mess" because it is full of
errors.
Just for the first measure: this should be: g4 as g8. f16 es4 - you have
the wrong rhythm and the wrong notes. (and if you have errors in the
other voices too it's clear that it won't sound as you expect).
I guess you should first sort this area out before you concern yourself
with cautionary accidentals.
And of course you should set this piece in the c minor key when it _is_
in that key (i.e. write \key c \minor at the beginning of the voice)
