As I've mentioned, I have played orchestral music for quite some time;
violin parts often involve tremolo repeats on high notes, and I have
never come across something of this kind - which would suggest that, at
the very least, it is not common practice.
Be VERY CAREFUL about saying "what is common practice". It varies wildly
with tradition. I've moaned about lilypond's defaults on occasion,
because it typically follows orchestral tradition and as a band player,
mine can be very different.
I play the trombone. I *NEVER* see bass clef parts when I play with one
band. When I played in an orchestra I never saw treble clef parts. And
yet I play with another band where I see both clefs. The point is, there
are three *different* traditions - Orchestra = bass clef, brass band =
treble clef, concert/military band = whatever suits the player.
But as a perfect example of lilypond following a different tradition to
me - 90% of the parts I play have the instrument name LEFT justified on
the part.
Cheers,
Wol
