    Can anyone point me to an edition of Jean Mouton's Tota pulchra es for TBarBarB, other than the one at CDPL, which has some shortcomings in the text underlay? is reportedly different from another edition in use over the past 15 years or so?

    Thank you in advance!

    The Antico print is indeed missing from IMSLP. What do you consider the shortcomings?

    The prints edited by Andrea Antico are not listed on the composer pages on IMSLP. You have to look at the composer page (sic) of "Andrea Antico" instead and click on the tab "Collected Works". Unfortunately, the 1520 print is not listed there either.

    The edition on CPDL, however, is not based on the Antico print, but on a beautiful manuscript source, "Anne Boylen's Songbook". The facsimile published by Alamire is out of print but a copy might be available in a number of libraries.

    @Quaerens If you simply want to change the text underlay of an edition, you can easily do it with the annotation tool of many PDF viewers (Preview, Xournal, Acrobat Reader, ...). Simply choose the annotation "text" and select a white background instead of the default transparent background.

    Thank you both. I perhaps shouldn't have used the word "shortcomings..." as I'm not an expert in these things... The professional I am working with has a preference for a different underlay as per an edition he has used in the past, but no longer has access to. So I thought I would try to see if other known editions are out there. The leads you have provided are very helpful.
