Hi folks, When arranging for big band, there might be for instance three separate long choruses which essentially repeats in piano and guitar since the rely on the same chord pattern even though the horns have three totally different designed choruses. In the score, pi/gui are repeated for easy score reading, and it is of course easy to achieve this with copy/paste tools. But the parts get of course very long, and especially in the piano part where I have suggested voicings for both hands. For the horns this is rarely a problem since multimeasure rests shorten the parts.
Anyone having any good advice on how to shorten e. g. a piano part with these characteristics? I am not even sure how I want it to look...so first I might need some advice what is typical and then what Finale can do in this area. But essentially I guess I could use some method like giving information to the pianist in letters G, H, I that chords and voicing suggestions are as in C, D, E. Now pianoplayers might not have a big problem with turning pages, however drummers certainly do not like to have parts with more than 2 or max 3 pages - fully understandable. So also here I hope there is some standard for how to say that B is latin 16 bars and no cues, C is latin 24 bars and no cues etc. I know that this is fairly general question. But I hope there is some article or similar about this that someone can point out...?
