  10. As Krummel has pointed out, the leaves of most engraved music after 1700 are gathered either singly or in twos ("Bibliography of Music," The New Grove, v. 2, p. 683) "and the important changes in text usually took place on the plates, making the assembly largely irrelevant for textual work." ("Musical Functions and Bibliographical Forms," The Library, 5th series, 31 [1976], p. 337).

  11. Compiled by D.W. Krummel (Hackensack, N.J.: Joseph Boonin, 1974).
