It's nice to know that our era will be leaving behind a wealth of
inconsistent notation to keep future generations of musicologists in
business. That is, if they can ever get beyond investigating
performance practices of the 1700s. :-)

discussion and be able to argue about whether internet discussions are
credible scholarly sources. =)
