Fingerings are a pet peeve. I've seen them on a few occasions, and sometimes they are wrong. They heavy markings that get in the way really get me, too. As do courtesy accidentals (you all know what I mean...placing a # next to a F even though it's already in the key signature because you had an F natural a few measures earlier). They just confuse me and usually I play it as a wrong note.

I'll add glasses, rest indicators at the top of the page, an arrow or star indicating a passage I had difficulty with so I can remember what to practice (then I erase it), any unsion pairings that may require a bit more or less dynamic (like with an oboe or bass trombone) or places where I am more independant and soloistic. I also write a number on then upper right that corresponds to program order and half (I-1, first half, first piece). I had my music in the wrong order once...not a nice feeling! Our conductor doesn't write in changes, so any changes we note along with a massive clicking of pencils on manhassett stands as we all put them back...love that sound.

Haven't ever seen the signature thing...I'll have to remember that one and come up with something.
