I think everybody agrees that rehearsal numbers or letters every ten bars is a bad idea. Stravinsky used them in late scores. IM(very)HO it was his way of seeming as detached and unemotional as possible about his music and telling the performers you figure it out. But he was Stravinsky.

Hi all, What have you found to use as system separators when more than one score system appears on a page? I have used the two-slash tremolo articulation shape at size 72 as a score expression, but that seems dumb to me now. I can see using that as a measure or page attached text block.
