For printing Music,
the lines to be
done at one operation,
and the notes
at another: upon
the principle of
calico - or paperhanging
printing.

The lines drawn
either by a stamping
or a drawingstroke
in the manner
of the ruled paper

The notes
as in printing.

The words printed
in the common way
which will be better
than ordinary engraving

Paper woven &
hot pressed - for distinctness.

Graces in smaller type.
Subordinate
parts in different
colours: a colour
for each part.

The Bass to be
exhibited by 5 red
lines immediately
under the 5 treble
lines and without
any interval. This
will save a good deal
of room

Types not so large
as at present. The
print ones larger than</p>

Maps - colour
them by stamping
instead of washing.

Globes - wanted
a cheaper mode of
making them than
at present

than necessary for
legibility; even
where Graces are
added, these Graces
which always in a
much smaller type
are sufficiently legible.

For examples &
proofs, see some of
the old Books of
Songs

Little correspondence
with the Continent.
Get over all the
new Music as it
comes out without
exception.

Get it over by the
Post, as it comes out
or rather sheet by
sheet as it is engraved.

By this means it
may be printed and
published, before the
common Music sellers
can get over copies
in numbers by the
Ships

But it should seem
that but little is imported,
except for the
purpose of reprinting.

Have a Concert
for the purpose of
trying such as, consisting
of many parts
can not be tried without.

English Music'
might in this manner
be reprinted
in Ireland, or perhaps
in Ireland
for exportation.

It would in effect
be a further reduction
of the price
if selections only
were thus reprinted
leaving out the indifferent
ones in each
set

But single pieces
might be sold dearer
than in whole sets.

Expedition can
(for instance by
the post) will
not so much signify,
since cheapness
will be sufficient
to gain the
preference.

the print in this
way Handel's and
other stock Musick.


---page break---

Print at the the beginning
of each movement the
time determined by
experiment with the Chronometer.

Let the Chronometer
at the beginning of each
Bar exhibit the no
of that Bar: and print
the no accordingly in
the Music Book. This
will enable a performer
who has lost his
time to come in at any
time.
