MUSIC MARKING / CANDIDE CUTS / CHANGES TO ORDER OF PROGRAM
Candide is a rental-please make necessary markings in pencil as lightly as possible! When preparing your music with the cuts/skips/order changes, please avoid writing “CUT” or “SKIP” in your music or crossing-out omitted sections. Instead, try Post-It notes (for written instructions and to indicate page skips) and paperclips (to section off skipped portions of music). Thank you!
Use these specific instructions to prepare your Candide part; the complete order-of- program will be included in your folder as a definitive reference.
