What's the clearest way to write an |:A:|BACA piece if I don't write out in full the three A sections (to avoid page turns). The original simply has "Da Capo" at the end of B and C, and a fermata on the last note of A.
People with experience in the music of the period you're working from will understand, others might be confused, but I agree that you don't need to write out the A section each time it recurs.
I'd use the letters A, B, C as the rehearsal markings at the start of each section.
Then I'd write the A section with the repeat, then the B section followed by D.C. senza replice, then the C section with D.C. al Fine (the Fine being marked at the end of the A section.)
I'd also include a text box above the first staff with something like:
The form of this movement is: A A B A C A in order to make the form perfectly clear. -- David H. Bailey [email protected] _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
