Interesting. 4 bars after [C] means we are starting at the 5th
bar from
[C]. I have never experienced any confusion during my rehearsals so
this is new to me.
Hmmm. Assuming that a rehearsal letter is over a bar line, as it
should be, and not over the middle of a bar, then the first bar to
the right of that letter is indeed one bar "after C," neh??
That is what I learned. C indicates the barline.
Everyone I work with says "Start at the 5th bar of C", which is a
little more precise than "Four (or five) bars after C".
Now, if you were say "rehearse next Saturday" when today is Thursday,
half the band will show up in two days, the other half in nine days.
However, the French-Canadians will ALL show up in two days, because
the meaning of "samedi prochain" in French is perfectly clear,
whereas it isn't in English, for some strange reason.
