Yes, I know and I don't like it, but I could add a flag so others can have it their way. I should probably make a note about it. > – A similarly standard convention: don’t beam notes outside melismata. > That means: \autoBeamOff, manual beams with melismata.

I don't like that either, but perhaps it would be good to have it at commas and breaths. > – Why not use \RemoveEmptyStaves, at best along with fitting line breaks > e.g. Agnus Dei, before m.32 and 45?

Your rationale sounds correct, but I'm used to it as it is, and kind of like it better that way - clearly separated from the music. Had your abitus placement been default, I'd probably been "used" to that instead. The only thing I have against your way, is that it is a little confusing, it looks more like the music one are to play. Perhaps there should be something to make it look different than the notes to play/ sing, e.g. smaller heads or a different shape or colour. I have note thought about the abitus gap, but now when you say so it is a little big. There must be way to shrink it.
