This is good advice. Every time I have worked as a music editor,  
sitting with the director, I found their ideas to be unconventional -  
but usually with merit. They think outside the "box" because they  
don't really know the box. I always seem to end up looking at the  
cues from a different perspective afterwards and learn a little bit  
more each time about different ways of using them.

I agree - it is a forced opportunity to try and shift your thinking a  
little about how the score can work.

Yes, there can often be an element of this mixed into the equation  
too :-(
