I have a piece in "rondeau" form ABACADAEA, where A is only written
out the first time in the source, the repeats being marked by a "Da
Capo".
But since I can't possibly get it to fit on two pages, so I have
several solutions to limit the number of page turns to one, the best
of which would seem to be:
ABCD on 2 facing pages
EA on the third page
In the case of a 3-page part with reference back to the beginning, I
would use accordion-fold, printed 1 side, not booklet form. That way
all 3 pages can lie open on the stand. Conventional commercial usage.
My question: assuming all the Da Capo marks at the end of B, C and
D, have a double bar, as I believe is the rule, how do I let the
player know the piece goes on after D? In other words, is there any
conventional way to distinguish between the last Da Capo and the
others?
Well, if you have the last Da Capo written out (which is what your
outline shows), it's no longer a Da Capo, right? You might want to
put a rubric like "Keep playing to the end" just to be perfectly
clear for sightreading.
