That's exactly what I did for my Orchesography transcription - although I was primarily working from a printed source, anything I thought might be editorial to that edition was checked back to the facsimile on the Library of Congress site, as I thought 483 years was probably long enough for Jehan Tabouret's copyright to lapse. Now all we need to do is get a working party to abc all the *rest* of the stuff on the LoC site :-) Start at http://memory.loc.gov and follow your nose from there.
