To all:
The main problem with modern performers trying to read old music in
modern editions is that musical phrases are disguised and truncated by
bar lines, which said performers seem to need. I have had to spend a
good deal of time convincing good sight readers to ignore time
signatures and bar lines in modern editions of old music.
