I'm not at all sure it is wrong, but as Werner points out, there were
non-German traditions that Lilypond does not address. Since this comes from one
of those and I am trying to represent the score in a nicer format that is still
"true" to the original in some fashion, I want to make the change indicated.

I agree that it is far from perfect. At the same time there have been a number
of aspects where I have found it clearer for this piece than the Lilypond
default. I would not hold it up as a model for other things. Ultimately much of
this is a matter of taste.

I don't know that anything needs to change. I have my opinion and others have
theirs. I would not presume to state that mine is the single correct one.

"Should" conceals a lot of assumptions :-)

Again, I'm looking for something else then. That's ok I think.
