It is a plenty of space, and not difficult to read.

My ignorance: what is NE size? I mean, is it the shortening of something?

From the previews available on the website, my very high respect for Henle's engraving practices got a strong hit.
Besides, I am a cellist so that means I have my memory going through all other editions while looking at it.

Definitely the second one.
Syncopes are standard rhythm and easily recognisable, besides looking much better than tied notes!

While the double-dotted note may be useful for the reason mentioned by John, it only works for 7/x measures, not for 5/x ones. The following is an attempt to fill out that gap in traditional rhythmic notation: x-dots.JPG "x-ing" a note adds a quarter of its value, x being half a dot. (We ...

There are some places in the first example where I would have placed the fingering between the slurs and note heads rather than over the slur. Also extraneous triplet indications (...

Unfortunately I am in the EU and A-based paper is so bad for printing music. They manage to do American size but all those I asked to said they need to cut A3 paper for that, such a waste! Here is a couple of pages from a piece published with an EU-based editor. They are both from Popper's Cello Etu...

Hello everyone, first post here and thrilled to join the community. While I have been engraving music for a living for 10 years, I have never understood why the suggested staff size for parts in, e.g., MOLA Guides, are so big (7-8.5mm). If we take Henle as a comparison, specifically Bach Gamba Sonat...
