I have completed the corrections for all 3 movements; Biebricher made
quite some errors in mvt 1, fewer in 2, still fewer in 3. Is there any
interest in the errata list? Should I mention that I corrected only
clear errors? I faithfully retained whatever might be recognized as
Biebricher's arrangement.

I also formatted ('engraved') the corrected score and parts in Lilypond.
I made orchestral parts with good page breaks and adequate cue notes.

Rutger, I commend you for carrying through with this. In addition to
correcting the errors you identified, you also reformatted the score with 2
systems per page rather than 1, which to me makes a whole lot of sense for
an 8-staff score on a4 paper.

I'm curious whether you typed in the entire score from scratch, or did you
find some software to translate Christoph's PMX sources to Lilypond?

I used Han-Wen Nienhuys' ancient importer pmx2ly.py, which required some serious updating and extending.

I got a look at Christoph's score before it was replaced. My strongest
reaction was one of pride in seeing that he had done it with PMX, and I must
confess to a bit of disappointment that the revision is no longer in PMX.

I can fully understand that. But I am a Lilypond user, and, as I think I explained previously, my first objective was preparing an edition of BWV146 in Lilypond.
