I don't know if there is any accepted convention, but you might want to have a look a parts of Couperin's Concerts Royeaux
(http://petrucci.mus.auth.gr/imglnks/usimg/8/88/IMSLP60621-PMLP124164-couperin.pdf) in particular Echos, p12. In this 2-line score, the lower line is for gamba and harpsichord, as explicitly indicated at the beginning. It starts with two separate parts for two bars, then one part for two bars, then repeats that pattern. All through the piece there are many such changes, and usually there is no explicit indication that both instruments should play together when there's just one line, but in most places it's obvious that they should. Your plan sounds reasonable. But rare ended split section with a single note with two stems. I'll be interested to see if anyone references any accepted convention for this. --Don Simons ---- Bob Tennent <r...@cs.queensu.ca> wrote: > I'm typesetting a baroque trio sonata in which there are sections with > separate notes/rests specified for the cello and the keyboard in the > basso part.
