Wow, if you'd posted that on the front end, everyone would have been saved a lot of trouble. It's quite clear that the 32nd notes of the second system in the recorder should be 16th-note triplets (in modern notation) and that makes the interpretation of the first system simple. And I was interpreting the 8th note at the end of the first system as a custos, but as an actual 8th note, it's perfectly consistent with the reading I gave, with a full half measure in all the parts. Seems to me that my solution A is pretty solid. I can't see any other reading that's consistent with everything that follows and that makes the fewest alterations to the original notation. And my interpretation also provides an explanation of *why* the original notation is the way it is. -- David W.
