Well, of course, it’s quite common in modern scores. One [beautiful!] example that immediately came to mind is Schwantner’s “Sparrows”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqBkFWCkaTk Ironically, about a decade ago, I wanted to re-engrave this score for an ensemble conducted by a colleague, but found that the indentations/cutaways required too much work in Lilypond. LOL Best, Kieren. __________________________________________________ My work day may look different than your work day.
