Thank you, that first thing worked perfectly. At the moment, I still have the parts in score (to check they're all at least the same length, which is a feature sadly missing in some of the manuscripts I'm dealing with). I'm bullying the ligatures into submission (such as when the second semibreve of a COP needs to be doubled to complete the perfection) using, e.g., \[ a1 b1*2/1 \] . This appears to work for the output I need just now, but I haven't yet considered the implications, should I wish to return to modern notation (at 1:1 note values). .
