 1.69 copying music
 ==================
 
 A music copyist did fast freehand scores and parts on preprinted staff
 lines for performance.  Some of their conventions (e.g., the placement
 of note heads on stems) varied slightly from those of engravers.  Some
 of their working methods were superior and could well be adopted by
 music typesetters.
