Yes, some decades ago (i.e. when Apel was writing), it was common to
transcribe mensural music at a value reduction of 4:1 (i.e. 3/4 for
Circle); now, 3/2 is a more common transcription level, and most
specialist performers prefer to read either from original note values
(if transcribed), or from original notation, if the manuscript isn't
filled with errors like the examples I'm currently dealing with. I'm
working on a bigger project that may involve generating multiple
versions in different types of notation from the same source file;
from that point of view, it would be more convenient if the mensural
sign was more closely attached to the meaning.
In case you are interested in barlines – which after all is authentic
for ‘partitur’ scores – you might want to use \scaleDurations to get the
right combination of mensural time signature and printed note values.
