RHY.9:5.2 - Preserve the sound while changing cue access

A constructed ensemble passage requires a player to sustain an already learned brush motion while making an accent with the other hand. The partner needs a visible preparation cue before entering. Suppose a short rehearsal establishes the following:

ArrangementSustained motion retainedPartner enters without an added pauseFollowing action retained
Use the occupied hand to pointNoYesNo
Keep the playing actions, leave the cue obscuredYesNoYes
Keep the playing actions and expose an existing preparatory cue by changing the partner’s positionYesYesYes

Retain the third arrangement for these conditions. No new gesture technique is needed. If the performance position cannot change, the same result becomes a concrete need for another accessible cue, not evidence that the partner should simply try harder.
