And that's a bad thing? [I'm kidding, but kidding on the square.]
Exactly. V.S. means fast. The end of a page means turn. Why add anything at all?
Because that's what B'way players expect. If there's just blank space, they may think the number (or at least their part in the number) is over.
And obviously, there has to be *some* kind of indication on a page intentionally left blank to facilitate page turns.
Or write "time" or "turn" - but PLEASE not V.S. when it's not. The players really do complain about that every time it is used incorrectly.
Well, that's good to know for orchestral work, but for B'way and jazz, "V.S." just means "It ain't over yet -- turn the page."
Anyway, seems like John Poole might want to use an arrow then. Or "turn," as Ray suggests.
