Hi, just as a side-note: Research now agrees that contrary to common belief renaissance _scores_ (1) had full barlines, with notes reaching beyond these being split and connected using ties. I’ve not quite come to a conclusion if I want to adopt this practice (as e.g. the new series of Lasso complete works do) or if the ‘mensurstriche’ layout conveys a valuable meaning nevertheless, but fortunately Lilypond allows to do both without changing the actual music: for a mensurstriche layout, barlines within the staff are hidden; for a ‘partitur’ layout (2) they are showed and the Completion_heads_engraver is used instead of Note_head_engraver, eventually also Completion_rests_engraver instead of Rest_engraver. A worthwhile alternative IMO. HTH, Simon (1) of which very few survive, since they were usually written on slates and erased after copying parts (2) this German word for ‘score’ essentially means ‘divided into spaces’!
