These Sonatas and Partitas by Bach are very famous for
the beautiful handwriting in his manuscript. Several publishers
sell facsimile of this manuscript. An extremely
ambituous attempt to imitate the manuscript as closely as
possible but still use computer based typesetting can be
found in the Werner Icking archive (the typesetting was done
by Werner Icking himself, using musixtex), see
http://icking-music-archive.org/ByComposer/J.S.Bach.php, scroll
down to BWV1001.

There you can for example notice that all four notes of the first
chord actually were written with stem up, but each slightly offset
to the right (corresponding to \voiceOne \voiceThree \voiceFive
and \voiceSeven in LilyPond).
