May 20, 2023 at 17:18 comment added supercat @Circonflexe: I would expect that the fermatta would fall in the last measure, and watching the conductor would make it clear where it fell (e.g. if it fell on a dotted half note, and was followed by a two-eighth-note anacrusis, someone watching the director would be able to tell that the downbeat of the next measure would come after the anacrusus.

May 19, 2023 at 17:06 comment added Aaron @AndyBonner If I saw this notation, I would assume the fermata comes at the end of the multi-measure rest time and that the following bar is queued.
May 19, 2023 at 16:10 comment added Andy Bonner It would be great NOT to do this. How does the person counting the multimeasure rest know where the fermata falls? (Aside from the fact that everybody knows Carmen.) Either don't bother to mention it, or break up the rest. As a player, I'm a big fan of seeing rests broken up to show rehearsal numbers or cues.
