Darcy, I'm curious - where did you get the idea that dramatic system reductions from page to page was an acceptable engraving practice?
Uh, by looking at orchestral scores?
Compare page 32 and 33 of Petrushka (Dover), for starters. Or how about pages 12 and 13 (or for that matter, 12 and 30) of the Rite? Pages 3 and 4 of Daphnis & Chloe? Pages 59 and 60 of Mahler 9? Pages 11 and 12 of the B&H Concerto for Orchestra? Etc etc etc etc etc etc etc...
Where did you get the idea that it was *not* an acceptable engraving practice? (I know Andrew feels that way as well, but I don't quite see how you would go about engrave these scores without "dramatic fluctuations" in system reduction.)
