David Fenton provided some examples of engraving at http://www.dfenton.com/Editing/. One thing I noticed: the extreme tightness of spacing. In the day of when paper is relatively cheap: why are so many music engravings don't have much more open spacing in terms of layout?

Page turns are a real nuisance in performance -- the fewer the better, as far as I'm concerned, as long as the music is legible.

And often the music spacing is one way to control that page turns are in the proper places (i.e. right before or right after longer rests so there's time to make the page turn.)

Cheapness of paper shouldn't dictate the page layout.
