Thanks for the suggestions. Will try to compile Emmentaler with a new narrow 
version of the MI but perhaps slightly deeper so it looks big enough. Examining 
an old but beautiful book I have has all notes the same width but the Mi seems 
to extend a tiny bit higher/lower than other notes. Probably for optical 
purposes.
Otherwise I might take a short cut and redefine the size of the mi using the 
stencil-scale option.
