Yep

I think fewer people are using ancient Notation styles.
As a natural consequence issues will be reported less often or stay undetected.
I'd be interested in your personal setup for writing mensural music.
Could you post your usual overrides/layout and an example?
Maybe we can improve LilyPonds capabilities in this area.
(I'll be completely offline this weekend, though)

:D
Well I'm very bad in finding alias-names. At the time this name was
needed to create I had to deal with music from Thomas Morley.
So I thought, why not? At least he is less well known than others...

Glad I could help.
