I believe you may be referring to the "Neue Ausgabe s?mtlicher Werke" edited by the folks at the Internationalen Schubert-Gesellschaft and published by B?renreiter (the same publishers for the recent critical Bach and Mozart editions). The set I'm sure is quite popular and can be found in many of the larger libraries; if not, you can get copies via interlibrary loan without any problem. I should point out that W.W. Norton publishing house issued a copy of Schubert's 8th Symphony based on the above edition in their Norton Critical Scores series (in 1968). A revised edition of this Norton score came out later (1971) which includes the draft of the aborted third movement Scherzo as well as a reassessment of the dynamics (notably the ">" marking). I can't say for certain, but this later issue may be independent of the "Neue Ausgabe" edition and therefore useful for comparative purposes. Plus, it's a hell of a lot cheaper.:-) Mark
