No, we're not trying to copy the model exactly.
We're trying to make the best possible edition of the piece.
(Of course for our purpose we're not interested in scholarly review or
stuff like that).
Being influenced by the default of the capabilities of the software
isn't bad, not even in our context ;-)

If we were trying that someone would have to go to a library and measure
everything, or rather make a reliable scan with clear DPI and a
reference length.
But as said above, that's not what we're after.
