I guess everyone has different needs. My drummer, Harvey Wirht who lives in NY and tours a lot, is not always available for my shows in Boston. That's the way with jazz gigs. You can't keep the same musicians for every gigs so you have to expect sight reading rehearsals and gigs. Drummer, who is given a lot of slashes looks at the measure number at the double bar to confirm the even numbered harmonic rhythm. I of course put (n) under every 8 bars but these measure numbering effects psychologically in sight reading situation, as I believe. My arrangement of Summertime is 11 bars long form, yet no one has screwed the form on sight reading gigs so far, because I take care of psychological reading effects :-) -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA <http://a-no-ne.com> <http://anonemusic.com> _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
