> If one or more contemporary sources indicate to play a certain sort of piece at 120 bpm but with ancient fingerings you can only get to 90 bpm, should you conclude that the composer must have used modern fingerings or that he must have used ancient fingerings and just tended to play his pieces slower than what sources indicate?
Er... I conclude that the composer had a broken metronome...
