A marking here, another there, no problem, but markings everywhere, nearly every second note or every accidental set twice, all smeared about. If markings are made clean & clearly, no problem. But note names ..... And, Jim, as you play in the pit often, even as an amateur, why do you need many markings, instead (now) learning how to transpose. You learned, that band music is not the top end of the flag pole ....... ============================================================ =================================================

I often play in the pit orchestra for various community theater musicals. Obviously the music is rented. But as an amateur, if marking a note or a fingering helps me play the passage properly, I'll continue to do so. My rule is, 1 mistake is OK, but if I miss a note twice, I mark it. And no, I did not learn my transpositions, because all band music in America is transposed to F by the publishers.
