experience, it's fairly uncommon in printed music to have this kind of

to submit it to the LSR, though.
It's not that uncommon. I've seen it in choral music fairly
regularly through the years. What else are you going to do if there's
a pickup note and the 2nd ending goes on? You can write the second
ending as an end followed by a partial pickup, but this solution seems
more elegant, and why reading voice would certainly be simpler to
read. Choirs are filled with folks whose reading skills are minimal to
nonexistant.
