Confuse with notation
Moderators: Peter Thomsen, miker
I am entering a score and in several places it has comments like in the trumpet part I see "Cue: Horn" or in the clarinet part It well say Cue: Flute" There is also a set of notes written in grace note style. Can some one tell me what this means.

Either if 2 things:
1)After a long rest, it helps give you a cue to hear that gets you ready to start playing again.
2) Sometimes a player needs to cover the music for an instrument (player) in the ensemble that might be missing.

The “grace” notes may be an ossia; an alternative to the passage.
If you can post a screenshot, we may be able to narrow it down.

Adding little cues like this in parts can be tremendously helpful for a player who has had a long period of resting--especially if they've been doing things like changing instruments. It helps prevent a lot of wrong entrances, especially if you add the little cue notes to show what the other players are doing right before you make your entrance.

Just like we said. It helps during a long period of rest to know what's going on to help in knowing when to play.
