Good timing of kakegoe: It is different for each performance; usually, the audience practices kakegoe while the actors are crossing 'hana-michi' (elevated runway), walking in or out of 'age-maku' (the end of a hana-michi; hana-michi is stretched from age-maku to the stage, actors use it for performing important scenes and entrances and exits), doing 'hikkomi' (exit), performing 'mie' poses and during 'hyoshi-gi' (wooden clappers) are beaten at 'maku-gire' (the end of an act).
タイミング狂言によってさまざまなポイントがあるが、「面張り（とくに揚幕）」「引っ込み」「見得（ツケが入る）」「幕切れの拍子木」にかけるのが一般的である。
