Charpentier, in his manuscript, uses the following notation for the end
of a vocal melisma:

With the quarter note at the end of the second measure shifted one 16th
of the beat.
How would you render this measure in a performing edition?
I'm split between notating it exactly as written and changing it to
having the final two beats be:
8th, 16th, 16th-tied-to-dotted-8th, two 32nds
Leaving it as written will cause a bit of confusion at first but will be
less busy-looking, while the second way will be clearer at first but
will always look much too busy for the sound.
