Hey Ryan, Tim, et al., I'm a double bassist who has enjoyed playing these cello suites for years. I also used to be managing editor of a music publisher in the days when engraving was done with a re-built Olympia typewriter and hand-drawn slurs. A single page of melody, words and guitar chords would require 30 man-hours of work to produce a camera-ready copy. Computers were for accountants in those days. I fell in love with LilyPond after years of struggling with Finale and never liking the quality of the final product.
My Peters Edition of the Praeludium shows 9 staves on page one and 11 on page two, and I think your original looks best so far. Keep up the good work!
