But no alternative implies ALL parts are the same. Once you're away from
melody instruments, I would have thought identical repeats was a common
occurrence across pretty much al parts - who's never had a section of rests?

I'd agree with that other lister - different structures for different
parts causes no end of confusion - especially when all the conductor has
is the solo cornet part ... :-)

Last thing I'm going to say on this: It's a really good idea to make the score repeat structures the same for clarity and minimal confusion. It will pay off because the musicians see what the conductor sees. That's what makes most sense to me. Anyone can agree or disagree, but I don't think there's any point deliberating over this any more.

There. I've said it. ;-) Happy engraving!
