it seems to be written quite carefully, you could strike a line across the 4th (G) and 7th (F) leger lines, for example (either on paper or as a guideline in a pdf). there are many recurring intervals, enter them in a scratch staff (single 16th version and 16th tied to 16th versions) and copy.
from here it only "looks" bad, there are only 6 different intervals in your example. i would spend a bit more time than normal marking up the manuscript (letters above the different intervals on each page, repeating beat patterns, for example) before starting to enter things and i am sure you could save lots of time. and really only the lowest 2 notes should be in bass clef. there is simply no excuse for having the D#5 and C#4 notated on two different clefs. in my example you can see all instances of blank noteheads, i have made no manual adjustments to the beams. only the lowest augmentation dot on the 1st beat needs to be moved (over the flag) to hide it: http://newmusicnotation.com/TEMPFILES/bathory_fun.pdf actually that kind of stuff is what my fun consists of 8-) -- i did the "first music stand score" nono's lontananza many years ago just as an exercise to see how much better i could make it from the original. not as many leger lines, but the score was done with a felt-tip marker. beautiful but impossible to "read" in concert. in my experience, the best is to learn much of the piece by memory and use the score (marked up for performance) as a guide. rock on.
