Wow, knowing how difficult it is to keep one's place in a normal
sized score, reducing the size to this extent would
make it very difficult for me, beyond just the challenge of the
performance.
Because I seem to need a more normal staff size, I do not
usually reduce music, but equally, I
will copy it so that I can avoid any page turns. Often there are 4
sheets laid out in order across the organ stand.
Performance is the only thing that is important, so page turns often
do interfere with registration changes.
If the composer or editor wants to make the layout so that one hand is
free for a page turn, perhaps without the need for
a registration change too, that would be nice, particularly for music
organists play only occasionally, not memorized. :-)
But that is asking too much.
