| Aug 4, 2021 at 13:20 | comment | added | Tom Serb | I've seen L.P. - I think it was in a German score. Not sure if the publisher used it for lunga pausa (Italian) or lange pause (German), but either way it's the same as G.P. "Vuoto" can mean either "empty" or "open" in Italian - I've only seen that indicating an open string (corda vuota) | |

| Aug 4, 2021 at 2:56 | comment | added | DjinTonic | @ I also do not believe I've ever encountered a L.P. (other than the vinyl variety). | |
| Aug 3, 2021 at 22:59 | comment | added | Aaron | @PiedPiper I've never encountered making a fermata shorter, either in practice or in definition. | |

| Aug 3, 2021 at 21:52 | comment | added | PiedPiper | @DjinTonic Kodály "Dances of Galanta" measure 565 in the orchestra parts, not the score (the conductor doesn't need it marked "G.P.", they can see that there are only rests). There's no need for a source to suggest that a fermata can be shorter: I've often see/heard it done . | |
| Aug 3, 2021 at 21:01 | comment | added | DjinTonic | PiedPiper Do you have a printed example of a G.P. and fermata combined? Yes, one *could hold a note/rest + fermata for a length shorter than the note's/rest's value, but you do have a source suggesting that is a valid interpretation of a fermata? | |
