Hi Phil,

> Early music tends to work like that

Really? What editions are you using? I’ve spent a great deal of my life singing and
conducting music composed and/or engraved before ca. 1920, and have found
it almost invariably uses *beaming* (as well as slurs and extensions, sometimes) to indicate melismas — *that* I find intensely hard to sightread (and teach to singers).

When I say early, I mean early.  Medieval and some renaissance, renotated.
