I think the best and most comprehensive book not yet mentioned, which
covers more than its title suggests, is:
Katrin Einicke, Korrektur, Differenzierung und Abkürzung in indischen
Inschriften und Handschriften, Wiesbaden: Harrassowitz, 2009.
If I remember correctly, the author also discusses the use of sandhivigraha.
Best,
Lubomir

You are most welcome.
I cannot think of any single book that covers all such issues. You
can check some of the volumes of Studies in Manuscript Cultures
<https://www.csmc.uni-hamburg.de/publications/smc.html>. Some
volumes are particularly dedicated to Indic manuscripts, such as
Volume 10: Bidur Bhattarai's Dividing Texts: Conventions of Visual
Text-Organisation in Nepalese and North Indian Manuscripts
<https://www.csmc.uni-hamburg.de/publications/smc/smc10.html>. For
the Kashmiri manuscripts, I would recommend Michael Witzel's 1994
article "Kashmiri Manuscripts and Pronunciation
<https://archive.org/details/kashmiri-manuscripts-and-pronunciation-witzel>".

Thank you Deepro,
What you say makes sense, that it is a copy of a Sharada
manuscript carrying over the characteristics of the original.
On a broader point, I've seen courses on manuscriptology
advertised many places over the years, so I'm wondering if there
are any books that have been written on manuscriptology that
cover all these practical issues that come up when you look at
actual manuscripts.

Dear Harry,
The /avagraha/ in the Devanāgari manuscript seems to follow
the trait of Sharada manuscripts in which the /avagraha/
functions as a sandhi mark <https://symbl.cc/en/111C9/>. So,
it has a broader use than just being used in cases of an
/abhinihita /sandhi.
