If the one making the suggestion is the one who is going to be
realizing the part, I'd ask him or her exactly what they want to see
and do it that way for them. Otherwise, I perceive the sign as a way
either to save time for the engraver or typesetter on the one hand,
or paper on the other, and the change in tools, and price of paper
make either one of such little concern today, that in the absence of
a specific request from a performer, publisher, or composer, I'd
just do as you did, and copy the whole thing out.
Ah, both Noel and David seem to have assumed that you're talking
about a realized continuo part, where I assumed that you simply meant
a bass line. Which is it? If it's a continuo part then of course
any harmony changes should be indicated, as David suggested.
