I agree with such an opinion ; but we must keep in sight that the goal is to be able to make booklets directly from the site. I don't think anybody would like to have, in the same booklet, a score with *i* and *ǽ*, and another with *j* and *aé*… This would be necessary, if we make various versions, to agree on a naming scheme (or whatever else) that would clearly identify the style of each score.
