Surely you've seen the tight spacing of André's engraving, which would be completely unacceptable in modern engraving. My bet is that André routinely exceeded the tightness of the Henle part you're looking at.
I am sure he did, but that wasn't my point. What Henle does on the last page of the Bohemian violin sonatas (violin part) is actually tighter than what would be considered acceptable by most publishers (including Henle) from any engraver. I don't know why they did it, but I can guess that it was a case of economics (the last page is a left page, so page turns weren't the issue here). Whatever the case, there is no standard for the tightest acceptable spacing in modern editions. All this depends very much on the engravers eye for proportions and density.
