NOTATIO

What did you choose for your edition, in the end?

Neera, could you show some examples? I'm not sure what you mean. I could not reproduce this in Dorico, which prevents me from having a double barline followed by a start-repeat, it only allows the opposite. I have cooked this up in Sibelius.

The source I'm using follows @Harpsichordmaker's suggestion, and it is a German source from 1810. The extra stanzas of the poems are written below the music because it repeats exactly the same, and it shows capitalised first letter of every verse.

No, I've never seen this applied to any among the good editions I have browsed—but my knowledge is far from comprehensive, of course. The point you made is fascinating, since I had never looked at the repeat mark as "a mark" instead of "a barline". This is possibly due to me star...

Right! Sorry about that!

I may be daydreaming, but isn't there now an option for Dorico to place clef change before the repeat barline?

Thanks John!

Ah, authenticity, what a difficult and deep topic! If it were to be "authentic", then why not use the soprano clef directly? But I see your point: in the manuscript, there is no space constraint that would have obliged him to write the centred beam. So it must be a conscientious choice. Th...
