sometimes, for me its a mental thing.

One night I was playing tenor recorder in a small band, for live 
dance.  We had planned a long set of free galliards, as librarian I had 
chosen several pieces from our repetoire, all were arranged on the 
stands, and off we went.  I wasnt alone in having trouble, but I can 
only tell you what my problem was - brain lock at the changes between 
pieces, we were supposed to run it all together, with a continuous drum 
beat; but the problem for me was the various editions all were done to 
different degrees of 'reduction'.  One was in 6/4, another 6/8, yet 
another in 3/4;2/4;6/4; 3/2 even. No problem in rehearsal, each piece 
considere seperatly.  Yes, a case of not enough rehearsal, and, as 
librarian, I should have prepared performing editions of all of it, 
using common editorial practice for all.
