Re: Telemann's "Strich"

[Andrew Bernard]

I think he should adhere to the original look and feel. After all the work is entirely embedded in the 18c cultural milieu – figured bass practice, can’t get much more 18c than that – and the urge to squash everything into our Barenreiter Common Era practice look and feel should be relaxed somewhat occasionally. This is really closely related to the seemingly unpopular thread recently on curved beams. I for one take effort to make my contemporary scores match the aesthetic of the composer they are from, and my 18c scores to have some sort of 18c feel where possible. Perhaps I should buy some copper sheet and a set of gravers. :-)

For a reengraving it’s definitely better to have them outside the staff, 

together with the actual figures. One shouldn’t try sticking too closely 

to the appearance of 18th century writing/engraving.
