Stephen Fryer is of course right in pointing out that it's presumably the slight distortion of the pages themselves that causes the stave lines to look distorted. It seems clear from the Minkoff print that this distortion was not evident in the photographs used to make their facsimile, so the damage has occurred since then.
That depends on how the earlier pictures were taken. It might be that pressure was applied to the pages to force tham flat, which might be possible with the slight cockling involved. But then again, you could be right.
