This is the Ah-hah! moment for me -- it's not the entire piece that's notated this way, but a section in order to indicate a particular texture for that section. I now see the utility, which was not at all clear. Why is the terminology so narrowly used, though? I'd think Google would know more about it if it were widespread (though, of course, all the people in the discussion who are dedicated to playing in the relevant repertories know the term already). -- David W.
