Please can you tell me one publication of a _classical_ (ie 18th century) work from one of the major publishers where this practice is followed? I certainly know that any of the big complete editions (Bach, Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, you name it) do not have separate numbers for first and second endings.
Well I'm not going to go do a big search right now, and I wouldn't be surprised if you are right--for one century out of, what, 12 centuries of Western classical music?
Right now I have exactly one 18th-c. publication in my catalog--but I am publishing the complete works of a composer who lived 1781-1861, and have run into nothing problematic using the system I endorse.
Posters to this thread have repeatedly referred to rehearsals, but this is not an issue with piano music, songs, etc.--and even in orchestral music the problems alluded to can be completely avoided simply by showing first and second endings in all extracted parts whether or not the endings differ in any given part.
I agree that where the parts are to be notated inconsistently from the score, that some other method must be used.
