   Just a small nitpick: The central point of replacing
   Mensural_ligature_engraver with Ligature_bracket_engraver is a feature
   that in musicology is called "transcription" from ancient to modern
   music.  IMHO it's ok to remove the verb "transcribes" from this
   specific sentence.  However, the main thing in this section is that
   Lily supports automatic transcription of mensural ligatures.  Hence, I
   would propose to keep the word "transcribe" or "transcription"
   somewhere in that section.  Please also note that Sect. "2.9.6 Working
   with ancient music--scenarios and solutions" contains a subsection on
   transcribing Gregorian chant.  One could imagine to join -- or at least
   cross-reference -- these two sections.

   Best wishes,
   Juergen
