Hi all,
At the end of a movement, I have a caesura. Should I use a caesura on both staves of the piano/marimba/harp/other grand staff instruments? Or just the top stave of instrument's grand stave?

Cheers,
H.

Both staves, I'd say.

I vote for one staff.

I say potayto, N says potahto.

Either way, no one will be confused.
