I have a couple of questions related to, and one not-so-related to, this:
1. How often does a dynamic/expression need to be "restated"? I've been telling clients if an instrument rests for two or more measures (i.e. will show a MM rest in the part) to restate the dynamic. Is this good/bad/indifferent?
My personal rule is that an intervening rest of at least one whole measure requires restatement of dynamics. Why leave any possibility of ambiguity?
2. Should there be a "canceling expression" of some sort for tempi, i.e. should a rit---always either be followed with an "a tempo" or a "q=XXX" tempo marking?
Yes.
What would you place when it's not 'a tempo', but you don't want the specificity of "q=xx"?
