I use the term "Both times" (or "Both x's") in such a situation. Since in this case the "pickup" actually would be notes within the last measure of the first ending (if an ending is used) or notes within the final measure prior to the repeat sign, I also would strongly consider using a small bracket such as this:
__Both x's | Obviously the downward part of that bracket is on track with an imaginary line that would "run" to the left side of the first pickup note. --Richard > From: Aaron Sherber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Now for the followup: An instrument is tacet the first time through but > actually begins playing in the pickup to the repeat -- that is, in the > first ending.
