I have a couple of questions related to, and one not-so-related to, this:

1. How often does a dynamic/expression need to be "restated"? I've been
telling clients if an instrument rests for two or more measures (i.e. will
show a MM rest in the part) to restate the dynamic. Is this
good/bad/indifferent?

2. Should there be a "canceling expression" of some sort for tempi, i.e.
should a rit---always either be followed with an "a tempo" or a "q=XXX"
tempo marking?

3. (unrelated question) In a score, should rit---a tempo markings be in all
staves, or should they follow the rule for other tempo markings/rehearsal
markings? (I know they need to be in all the parts)

Thanks, list.
