You flatter me, Kim -- I was making any such point, just asking what 
the situation is.

Surely there is some documented practice reflected in the parts -- 
they are, after all, a perfectly proper bass line for the recorder 
line. On the other hand, the crossed-out clefs show that there was 
confusion at the time the score was being copied, so at least if 
there was some notational tradition involved there, it was likely not 
one that was second nature to the copyist.

In this particular movement, do the violin parts get anything other 
than the bass line? Do the parts ever diverge?
