harp in conductors score?

In the score, always show the conductor what the individual parts say. This applies equally to all instruments. Otherwise, if the conductor has need to discuss the part with (as in this example) the harpist during rehearsal and he's referring to a 'C', while the harpist has a 'B#' it could lead to all sorts of confusion.

i would always pick A) show the same thing in both.

if a conductor specifically asked for a "C score" so all the parts are untransposed. then i guess i *might* flip the harp enharmonics. but i wouldnt like doing it.

it could easily lead to a misunderstanding in rehearsal.

one place that it is ok to show the part differently from the score is in certain string harmonics.

the traditional 2 8va harmonics are fine.

but the ones that yield a less obvious sounding pitch can be confusing.

the conductor should be told the sounding pitch somehow. but the players generally prefer to see how to play it.

depending on the busy-ness of the music you might not have room to have both the fingered notes and sounding pitch in the part.

we aren't great about following those rules though, now that all the software has linked parts :(

The score will show the B# just as it will show other keys like Eb or Bb for the 'transposing' instruments such as clarinets and trumpets. The Conductor has the same music in front of him as the musicians.

the composer sees what the musicians see.

He would see B#
