I agree -- I wouldn't add any cautionaries at all. It seems perfectly
fine to me, a "problem" that shows up only when reading the score.
That kind of mode shift is standard for the repertory and I don't
think it would give a singer a problem at all.
David, I think we might be purists!
Purists or not, you're obviously part of the initiated who have already
learned much about the period and the style of music.
For people used to singing modern school choral works based in style on
jazz/pop/broadway styles and who might select that particular edition as
a first venture into a much older style, the cautionaries may well make
for a better performance.
Which gets back to the point several have made about who is the audience
the edition is intended for.
