According to Anne Smith, "The Performance of 16th Century Music -
Learning from the Theorists" (which is quite a good book),
this is indeed normal.
If this is in vertical score, it's one of the easier ones.
According to Smith, organists in the 16th century were required to play
even from partbooks.

Dear lute netters,
I am checking a concordances in Scheidt's Tabulatura Nova.
Some pieces are notated in scores with 4 different Clefs
Does anybody know if an organist was expected to read this (prima vista)?
Of course, the number of page turns was ridiculous.
The variations on Est-ce mars require more than 20 page turns.

PS
In the preface he writes that every voice is set separately so that
everybody can easily write down the piece in [organ] tablature
(gewöhnliche Buchstaben Tabulatur).
Very strange
