Then you don't really need VSS?
A Fast turn is a fast turn.
There's safety in numbers for Orch pieces, not so much with Chamber Music.
The Blank Page is a Magnet for Comedy-
I know!
I've played big band charts that were disasters, many, many pages, chock-full of notes, no way to make the page turns.
What's a poor side-man to do?
Sometimes opening them all the way out, and sliding them when you can helps.
Usually falls off the stand at some point.
David's example has a few bars rest to make the turn, always the best solution, if possible.

What I meant was that the composer has a good measure of flexibility. Even Elaine Gould, a detail-oriented technical writer, in her Behind Bars, asserts many options are "correct." But yes, a sloppy or neologistic piece is a turn-off.
When I write for flamenco or classical guitar, I still use Italian, except for indications such as laissez vibrer . The more common indications for technique I mix in Spanish. I know of no authority that has an argument against this practice. Music is indeed a language, like English, a potpourri of Latin, French and many other idiomas. In medicine, Greek is common. In chemistry, German is frequent. The bottom line is a facile read for best performance. No?
