Actually the basso in normal size, and the realization in normal size staff,
but with small note head sizes, are very common in editions of all kind of
chamber music with BC

Question from a begginer:
Why do you say it has to be
done so frequently? please read the excerpt below
(From MusiXTeX manual):
"Ornaments and cadenzas usually
need to be written using smaller notes 28 . This can be done
everywhere by stating \smallnotesize or \tinynotesize. Normal note size is
restored by
\normalnotesize.
These macros only have a local scope. Thus, if these macros are invoked
outside the
\notes...\enotes pair, the change is valid for the REST OF THE PIECE unless
explicitely modiffied but, if they are invoked inside, their effect is local
to the current staff of the current \notes...\enotes pair."
hope this will help
