Dear Don:
Thank you very much for your proposal; I shall try it. It sounds logical,
but the idea did not come to my mind.

While I have seen such things in printed music, I found this practise
confusing. I have used ties between enharmonic notes, but always kept them
horizontal to indicate that one is staying at the same note.

This is exactly what I need. I would have thought that you retouch ``per
cimbalo'' and tie over ``per organo''. At least that is what I am doing in
continuo playing.
Thank you again,
