EP 1914 ?

Fwiw, your question on the Pike and Shot thread over on the Slitherine board -regarding cavalry firing to the side.

Page 92 second paragraph 'Europe's Tragedy: A New History of the Thirty Years War' - no idea if anyone answered you over there - but according to Peter H Wilson (and I think I recall reading the same elsewhere) - that is how they did it in the 17th Century.

It doesn't appear that the Slitherine guys copped the same sort of thing.

but at least now you have a source to go with your question.
