I think there's a case for both -- the usual way to use ledger would
be to put letter pages two-up in booklet order, since it would be a
pretty long line of music to read. I've thought about using tabloid
to do the dowland part songs one to a spread. Legal is closer to the
size Dowland's printer used, but it's enough smaller to be a problem.
