Is there a possibility that you would consider making this set available as a recut edition? It would be welcomed be those of us dedicated artists who haven't been blessed with a great foot (or feet) for music.
Also, you may want to purchase some Artcraft Music Rolls (L. Douglas Henderson's arranged rolls) which have interpretative guidelines on them.
I've been collecting since 1968 and have never seen a set like those you mention. A rare find.
Cheers,
