This really is me talking, for some reason my emailer thinks it's a quote:I prefer "2nd X only" rather than "2x only", as it won't be confused with "Two times only", and "Tacet 1st X" is a negative, which seems to take more brain power to process.
I agree 100%. I can't tell you how many times I've been in sessions where the meaning of "2X", "2X only", or "2XO" was debated. "2nd X only" takes up very little room and leaves absolutely no ambiguity. If there is room, I even prefer "Play 2nd X only", because it tells the musician exactly what to do.
I often write layered arrangements where voices are added on repeats. I use F2002. You can create an expression that says "2nd X Olny", and in definition for the expression, it allows you to say "play only on pass x". I can never get this to work. Is this feature broken, or is there some special trick to making it work?
