Interesting. To me, the glasses always indicated that the spot
indicated required special attention, e.g. for a tricky rhythm or
unexpected accidental--not necessarily to look up at the conductor.
Is this a jazz vs. classical distinction, or just a matter of personal
interpretation?
BTW, this symbol is amazingly old. I've seen it in an early-15th c. MS.
No conductors back then!
