Absolutely. In fact I'm very glad you raise the problem, because you're
not the only one not liking the stropha of Greciliae. Attached is a font
(a fork from an outdated greciliae-base.sfd) containing a changed
stropha, what do you think about it?

I think it's the way to go, indeed!

I admit I can't remember that... Do you have a pointer?

Thank you,
