Attached is a complicated repeat layout from a well known danish trumpet polka:
De to trompeter
I attach the PDF file here for a discussion in MakeMusic’s forum - since MakeMusic’s forum only allows attachment of a few graphic file formats.

I wouldn't want to negotiate this at tempo at sight. It is logical and, if you have time to study it, clear. I guess paper is really expensive in Denmark.
Two suggestions. First, replacing one of the two cross-on-circle coda signs with another shape would be safer than the same shape in two sizes. Second, if it were my part, I would color code it (and hope the stage lights would not neutralize the colors.

The complex repeat pattern comes from the composer’s manuscript.fredvandoren wrote:… I guess paper is really expensive in Denmark …
My guess is that is was not a matter of saving paper, but rather a matter of saving time when (hand-)writing the manuscript.
Actually it is not “the same shape in two sizes”, but rather two different cross-on-circle coda signs.fredvandoren wrote:… replacing one of the two cross-on-circle coda signs with another shape would be safer than the same shape in two sizes …
You are probably right that it would be safer to replace one of the two coda signs with a completely different symbol.

I think it's been a long standing custom just about everywhere to put some genres of music on a single page, if at all possible. Look at the old march size parts for American marches, those "stock arrangements" for "dance band" of the 1930s, etc. Of course, Peter's example is a bit extreme, but doable; after you give it a long, hard look.fredvandoren wrote:I guess paper is really expensive in Denmark.
Here are the parts for the original version of Sousa's "Stars and Stripes". Take a look at the Piccolo/Flute parts. Anyone want to try to duplicate those with Finale?
