Probably different expectations between Bach handwriting and present-day 
software claiming high-quality engraving by default.

"LilyPond is inspired by traditional manual engravings published by 
European music publishers in and towards the end of the first half of 
the twentieth century, including Bärenreiter, Duhem, Durand, Hofmeister, 
Peters, and Schott. This is sometimes regarded as the peak of 
traditional musical engraving practice. As we have studied these 
editions we have learned a great deal about what goes into a 
well-engraved score, and the aspects that we wanted to imitate in LilyPond."
