Should the instrument be included on the first page of music in the score (and then perhaps deleted on other pages of the first movement)? Tradition says that the first system in each movement of any work (except for obvious things like string quartets) should show all the instruments required in that movement, and that movement only. To learn what instruments are required for the whole piece, you look at the Instrumentation list that precedes the first page of music--that's what it's there for. That said, the method you propose is not wrong, it is just not required, and not quite traditional. 2. When creating the part for that instrument, should I just put "I. TACET" and then start the second movement directly below on the same page? Yes.

If the first movement is short your could also consider notating it as multimeasure rests, but it is not necessary. Johannes I've seen estimated durations included with such tacet instructions. Very useful in a rehearsal - tacet for 90 seconds is very different to tacet for 20 minutes! ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

I was recently editing such a piece, and decided against including all instruments on the first page. There were too many of them which didn't play a note until one of the later movements. Instead we included a full instrument list before the first page of music. 2. When creating the part for that instrument, should I just put "I.
