Ah, authenticity, what a difficult and deep topic! And a for that reason an excellent topic for discussion! If it were to be "authentic", then why not use the soprano clef directly? I don't believe in "authenticity" for its own sake. But I do believe in preserving what the compo...

I'm not sure, though, that a centered beam would make me play the music differently. Here is another example. Would the centered beam in Bach's manuscript of Invention 1 cause you to show the subject and counter-subject more: Invention 1 MS.png than if had been written without the centered beam as ...

Thanks, Neera. I would say that most centered beams were used because long stems took up too much space at a time when space was limited, as you implied, and I also think that they were considered ugly. (I might add that we still use centered beams for these two reasons today but only for much large...

This sighting is from the last movement of Mozart's Piano Sonata K. 280. I think that it bears out my contention that some centered beams were to be understood as phrasing indications. The centered beam sets off the last note of the brilliant run from the cadencing sixths that are the origin of the ...

I also thought that the "preemptive" parentheses were a little strange, Anders. But whatever works... There is yet another possibility that I hesitated to mention because of the apparent complexity of the enharmonics in the work in question and the fear that the tie might be misinterpreted...

I think that the cautionary accidental was completely appropriate because of the previous E naturals in the piano part.

From the music engravers' Hippocratic oath: "First, do no harm."

You could put in the little parenthesized notes the first time an enharmonic appears and there only.That might be sufficient.
