16Feb16: Posted v.2 (1609) of Bataille’s “Airs de differents auteurs”. Editorial note addendum: I continue to put in dotted bar lines and time signatures. The sparse bar lines in the originals are not very meaningful rhythmically, since they only mark the beginning of text lines, and many text lines begin with a pickup note or two, and where this is the case, I have left them out. I think early music performers are used to seeing modern editions with bar lines and time signatures where these are not present in the original and have learned not to take them too seriously.
