I have a preset that hard limits to -10db for this. I would lower that number to -4 or so if the music was louder, as with any editing, save the original unedited, experiment with short segments as per above, see what you think. For shows where the audience waits for the end of the music before applause, I always use the envelope, either after a lesser hard limit or in lieu of one. I save every show without any edits at all, raw files, then mess with copies only.
