A minor dilemma:

1) Whenever there is a fermatta, I like to indicate it in resting parts as well (breaking multimeasure rests if necessary). I also like to indicate the beat the fermatta falls on (in the resting parts as well) -- so if the fermatta is on beat four, the resting parts won't just have a whole rest with a fermatta, they will have a whole rest, a quarter rest, and then a fermatta'd quarter rest.

2) I don't like to use dotted rests except in compound meters.

3) But in 4/4, if the fermatta'd note is a dotted half note on beat 2… and then there are a lot of instruments making entrances in a new tempo on beat 1 of the following measure… it seems like a dotted half rest w/fermatta might be the best solution in this case?

Input appreciated.

Cheers,

- Darcy
