At what point do most performers give up reading leger lines above or below staves?
Or to put it another way, do most find it hard once the number of leger lines above exceeds (say) three?
When writing - when should the use of 8va notation above or below kick in?
It probably depends a bit on context.
I recently found myself looking at a chord F B flat E flat starting on the third leger line above the stave, and thought that was a bit tough.
Maybe pianists and some string players are used to this.
