If the "p" is in brackets, it means the instrument is played by one of the flutes, ie
"3(p)", meaning there are three flautists, one of whom also plays piccolo. If two of
those three were to double on piccolo, then it would read "3(2p)".
Any of the other woodwind instruments are indicated in the same way, so for
example if you had 3 clarinets and one were to double on alto sax ("asx"), then you
would see "3(asx)".
If there are doublers (players who play more than one instrument) outside the
woodwind or brass families, then you might see an equals sign, or a "+" sign in
brackets. So "pno=org" or "pno(+org)" both mean that there is an organ part and a
piano part in the score intended to be played by the same person.
