therefore I use the MacOS emulator directly in Windows. Not the best solution but ...

Legally, running MacOS on non-Apple hardware is a breach of the user licence, even in a VM.

They're a bit too variable for me. I'm not wild about the spacing of successive hyphens, either. But I'm sure it can all be defined.

No, the octave flats in the key signature isn't a mistake: it was common practice in the day; but if I were preparing a modern edition in modern notation (and not this!), then I wouldn't have two B flats in the key signature on every staff and system. I'd display it in the incipit, though. BTW, the ...

Here's the original Sextus page, for comparison. (I hope I'm not overloading the forum servers) .

Yes, LaTeX too. You can't fault it, but it can seem a bit mechanical? I'm nit-picking, of course: I'd rather people produced anodyne but accurate stuff in Lilypond than badly done stuff in Finale. I was asked to create a revised edition of some liturgical music for a well-known fenland University ch...
