This is almost irrelevant for wind players but string players usually share a stand. If both players on a stand wish to take the music home to prepare for a rehearsal how is this accomplished? Easy enough if the music is on imslp or similar but much isn't. Does the orchestra's librarian make (illegal) photocopies? Do the two players duke it out?
Just curious.

Perhaps keep half the music in one folder and the other half in another folder and swap folders each week.

Publishers generally give the librarian permission to make practice copies, so no laws are broken. Parts from IMSLP do not work because they are not bowed.
Sometimes the outside player gets the real part and the inside player gets a copy. Other times it is first come, first served.
Many orchestras now post copies on a password protected web site so that the musicians can either print their own copy or practice from a computer screen.
Keep in mind that the vast majority of professional orchestras rehearse and perform a series in the space of a week or less. Some programs only get one or two rehearsals.

I show off being the owner of a decent printer and make copies for stand partners. Ya know I came from a high school with a very large concert band and sharing stands was a prerequisite. Personally I find sharing much easier when it comes to navigating nasty page turns.....outside!

Re: Copying music
It is sometimes hard to do when the music is not letter sized.

Actually .......no. You set your copier to 94% and just make sure your printed music with within the boundaries of your copy window (usu. just place the page itself a 1/4" past the glass on top and one side).
Haven't found anything I can't copy (or scan) on a standard machine.

rmk54 hit the nail on the head.
I'm also a string player, and play violin and viola pretty regularly. Usually the outside player gets the physical copy and the librarian makes the inside player copied parts. The only downside is that the outside player has all of the changed bowings and markings in his part, but that's usually something that can be adjusted to quite easily.

It's generally OK to make copies for purposes of practice or education, but originals must be used for performances. A standard A4/Letter copier will handle almost any sheet music with a bit of manipulation.

I play in a large wind band where it's two to a stand. If there are any tricky bits that I feel I need to practice at home, I just take a photo on my phone and add it to the score reading app on my tablet.

Oh yeah, the app. Does your app have have the foot pedal option to change pages? I saw someone in rehearsal in the last year with one of these. Technology can be fun.

haven't bothered getting a pedal - it just changes pages with a swipe, which isn't ideal, but is still easier than turning a page on a paper copy. One of the sax players does have a pedal though.
I don't regularly use the app for wind band rehearsals, just when I need to practice stuff at home. For function band stuff though it's great - the agency/band manager can just email or upload the music and I can download it, arrange it in setlist order etc.

In my community group, I issue a full set of parts to each player, and let them negotiate whose set is used when. This is particularly important when one of a pair attends only infrequently. Several of the older players have bad vision; they not only can't share a stand, but must make enlarged copies just to read the part in the first place.
