I am sorry, but this is IMHO again a mistyping: "to take out" instead of
"to make out". For my solution to Jean-Pierre's problem see my former
posting.

PS:
I just perceive that I erroneously replied to Jean-Pierre only.
Hereafter therefore
my former answer:
-------snip------------
I am _SURE_, that this is due to
- either mistyping
- or (more probable) misreading.
Older german books often use in the middle of a word a long s instead of
our modern curly one which is (depending on the font used) easily
misread as the letter f and (as I suppose is the case here) VICE VERSA.
The Quantz citation for sure is to be
"Ort tr�gt viel zur Aufnahme der Musik bey".
^
meaning: the place affects much the reception of music.
So, try the "f" instead of "s" if the meaning "exception" does not fit.
The word "Ausnahme" NEVER had the meaning "effect", take my word!
