1. How do the large publishers mark a repeat for a Menuet?
My editor typically will place "Repeat Menuet 1." At the end of a two
section menuet (it's usually labeled "Menuet e alternativ." in the
manuscript sources. Would "Da Capo Menuet 1" sufice or just "Da
Capo." Is using "Repeat Menuet 1" not OK? I only ask because a friend
who is anal rententive about these things, suggested to me "Repeat
Menuet 1" is just not the way to do these things. Is my friend being a
bit to anal retentive?
I have seen D.C., assuming no separate title for Menuet 2, and I have
seen Menuet 1 Da Capo (or D.C.)
But I have never seen "Repeat Menuet 1."
Your friend is being traditional.
2. I have an irksome movement, that once I reformat, will leave blank
space on the bottom 1/3 of a right page. I can't really make the other
movments "work" to get rid of this blank space on the page. Is having
such blank space a music graving "faux pas?"
If the blank space is because of your desire to begin the next movement
at the start of the next page, I see no reason to worry about that blank
space.
If it occurs for some reason in the middle of a movement, I would
rethink the spacing issues and perhaps the staff size so as to make it
less obvious.
