Any comments? > I agree with Don that it is not sufficient to rely on the standard shifting with r and e. In polyphonic music it is nearly always necessary to work with X..S to obtain an optimal alignment. While this is indicated in the examples of stampa musicale and its translations, it is not emphasized sufficiently. However, there is a frequent standard situation with whole notes that would justify the introduction of Olivier's proposal: when two voices meet in unison, than one must write two whole notes to indicate that because there are no stems.
