42 44.—In part-music all the accidentals in an open score will have to be reproduced in short score. Each performer is only supposed to read his own part, and cannot be assumed to have seen an accidental in another part which, had it been seen, would have rendered one in his own unnecessary. Thus the sharps in Fig. 35

will remain in a transcription to short score,

if intended for part-singers or players. (A pianist or organist would not need the second sharp in each stave, while probably preferring it as a recognition of the part-writing character of the music.)
