Not using 'DS al Coda' is fine if you have no space constraints. Anyone ever dealing with marching or standing band - (as in in using marching lyres to hold music)- has certainly had to limit space- and usually has to do away with page turns. I often find myself having to put some parts with DS and some without! - not good a practice, but oft-times unavoidable.
Try getting Florentine March by Fucik on to one march card without DS etc! Microscopes are hard to carry on the march!! Cheers, Keith in OZ. ----- Original Message ----- From: David W.
