The newer/modern convention is, as far as the ever decreasing amount of
rehearsal time musicians` seem to get to prepare, is to put every
accidental, or key sig. sharp or flat which is likely to be suspect, <in on
the part>. This avoids questions to the conductor, and thus saves time. To
make a part clearly unambiguous to the player, it is always safer to show
the accidental, or whatever is needed to enable the minimum amount of
"messing about" in trying to sort out which accidentals apply to whichever
octave.
Two pennies worth? Make it four and I won`t say a word.
