In an ensemble you have to watch the conductor as well as your music. Is it possible
that to see the conductor you are adopting a horn position that only lets you see the
music with one eye?

Second, do you wear bifocals? Watching the conductor through the 'distance' part
of the lens put the music in the 'reading' part... but it was too far away to
focus clearly. I wondered why my sight-reading was so bad in community band until
I got a pair on distance-only glasses. I was delighted to find myself back at
my previous mediocre level!
