But in this case, this is arguing against the layer workaround as a solution
to this problem.  The great masters did not engrave a ledger line, then
engrave an accidental with whiteout.  They engraved a shorter ledger line.
This shorter ledger line had rounded ends.  The whiteout solution gives a
short ledger line, but with square ends.
