It seems to me that until about 1800 or a little later repeats were _normally_

period where anyone made a note of not playing repeats in the Da Capo.
I cannot give an exact citation, but I am quite certain that I have seen scores (more
than one) by Boccherini with the instruction "D.C. senza replica."
Sorry, I wasn't exactly clear in what I meant: What you are saying is
not unusual, and I believe I have also seen it in Boccherini. However,
I'd like to see an 18th century handwritten marking in a performing
part, where a performer has made a decision to not play the repeat, and
marked such in the part. This would indicate that there was a
liberality. If such markings do not exist I very much doubt that such a
liberal practice could possibly have been in place, this would imo mean
that at least as far as orchestras go any marked repeat would always
have been played, because the confusion otherwise would have been
disasterous.
