When you're cooking up the conductor's score for a piece where certain instruments (oboe, clar, bsn, tpt) are tacet the whole time, do you leave their staves in as placeholders with extended rests or delete them entirely?
Less staves would seem easier to read, but then I could also imagine conductors' eyes get trained to expect parts in certain places and would prefer the placeholder parts. Insight appreciated.
