Each separate note has its own type block, including the staff

ligatures; the page in question shows, for example, both open and
filled diagonal "slide" ligatures, each comprised of two adjoining
type blocks with the beginning and end of the ligature
respectively. From this it may be assumed that such 2-piece
diagonals must have been available for every interval and at every
staff position. Because *every* note form completely filled the
width of its block, it was easy enough to put together ligatures of
3, 4, however many notes simply by adjoining blocks for the correct
note forms.
I suspect that something similar would be the way to compile
ligatures in Finale!
Finale can only do ligatures using movable lead type!? Wow, and I
thought it was a kludge to get figured bass in using the lyrics tool!
