Couperin and other French Composers indicate in their harpsichord music notes where one voice is mute by a vertical stroke if they occur in different systems. However, in most cases the mute note is produced by independent contrapunctal line rather than by an accompaniment. Bach and other composers give also no indication whether a voice running through a long note should be touched anew or not. It is not the only example where the notation is ambiguous... Christof
