A musical is orchestrated for some number of musicians. Each part is referred to as a "book". It is usually the case that "books" calling for woodwinds require multiple instruments, so you don't often see "Flute 1", "Flute 2", "clarinet 1", etc. Instead the books will be "Reed 1", 'Reed 2", and so forth. For example, the Reed 1 book for "Spamelot" require alto sax, piccolo, flute, clarinet and sopranino recorder (though the recorder only shows up for a bit in one song.)
