I don't feel that it is important to consider the plate printing dilemmas in computer output. My intention was to show the repeated notes, only the stem lenghts, not to imply that the example is extraordinary typography. I can see that the stems are the same lenght when the notes are repeated. But then again I got my new glasses last week.Not really. The problem with this sample is that this Eulenburg edition is far too small to really show high typography. While it leads the eye well, it exhibits far too much other typographical defects, for example the second and last beam, both presenting those small white triangles which should *never* be present in former times since they can be flooded with ink as soon as the printing plate gets used a bit. If you want to show us good typography please refer to a large score for a piano solo piece, say.
