Beside ornaments, "cue notes" are often used in separate parts of chamber or orchestra works, to help a musican resume playing after a loooong rest. They are small notes which represent the most audible part right before you must resume playing (Fr: repliques, Ger: Stichnoten). Of course, you musn't play them.
But such small notes may also have a totally different meaning: the part of a specific musician is written in small notes in your part, during a long rest of your part, or during a long, dull note. This part is very important for the interpretation of the work, but sometimes your orchestra cannot afford hiring the corresponding musician, and then you're supposed to play these notes, so that the interpretation doesn't suffer to much from this lack. These notes are called "A defauts" in French.
Does anyone know the right English term for these notes ? Or does the French term belong to the mostly Italian "lingua franca" of music ? German term is also welcome.
FYI: many bright, professional musicians I know mix-up both terms in French :-)
NB: I omit French accents in French terms, in case some mailers do not display them properly.
