ceiling live load
(OP)
I'm checking a bowstring truss with a ceiling framed into the lower chord. What live load at ceiling would you use and would you apply it simultaneously with roof live load? It looks uninhabitable and I see no signs of storage use.

Depending on the usage, you may also need to review "Primary roof members exposed to a work floor". You may need to design for 2,000# panel point load depending on the space below.
