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.
