The Oesterreichische Nationalbibliothek (Austrian National Library) in
Vienna has a five manuscript per day limit, but it all depends on who
is at the counter at the moment...

Another friend told me one library in Germany only allows you to view
*five* manuscripts a day. And they don't bend the rules. He had

didn't care.
I used to think the reason there are so many unpublished baroque
pieces was due to a lack of interest by the buying public, or
publishers felt it wasn't commercially viable to make such editions;
but now I think the real reason is due to the tight control over
manuscripts and publishing rights.
Interesting thread.
Thank you.
