Reinhold, I noticed that on the second staff (downward stems), the eighth notes have their flags all in the C space, rather than at the end of their stems. Do you know why that happened?

Just one comment: in the 18th century prints, the horizontal extent of the flag is comparable with the note-head, maybe slightly smaller. In your sample I think the flag is rather smaller (right now my browser can't access the pdf file). I think the note would look better with a larger flag, as well as more like the 18th century examples, from quite carefully engraved and elegant editions. Anyway, congratulations and thanks for this quick response to my suggestion! David Griffel
