That is good news. I am also interested in the sharpened continuo numbers.
However, I have a wish for the continuo number: In all modern editions,
unfortunately also in those typeset with pmx, the numbers are far too
small, at least for older players with limited eye adaptation . In contrast,
it is a pleasure to play from the original typesets: The numbers
are large, readily visible and usually over the continuo voice. In the
modern editions, a sharpened 4 is difficult to distinguish from a normal
one because the stroke is so small.
