Dear list,
Full score. Flutes 1 and 2 share top staff , 1 is stems up, 2 is stems
down. In the final measure 1 and 2 play the same note.Which would be
preferred, one whole note and fermata and notation "1., 2." or two
whole notes and fermatas side by side, one marked 1., the other marked
2.?
Best: One whole note with the notation "a2". Almost as good: 2 whole
notes adjacent and touching, w. *1* fermata centered between them.
Notations such as "1, 2" should only be used where *more* than 2 parts
share a staff, or to indicate voice crossings.
2 fermatas over unison wholes is just wrong (think of what you'd write
if it were a violin unison double-stop).
