Hmmm. As a player this would confuse the pants off me. (It would not be a pretty sight!) A conductor's cues are for entrances, period. And a really well-delivered cue can easily bring someone in at the wrong place, since the more confident you look the more they will question whether their counting was off! John -- John R.
