I'm agreeing with the general point you made, but cautioning against throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Sometimes in these discussions it seems like there's a rejection of any kind of repeat notation, which I think is too dogmatic. But I certainly agree that anything that is not immediately clear on first sight should be questioned. If the players have to pencil something in in order to know what to do, you should probably reconsider writing it out... -- David W.
