I'm transcribing a few handwritten late 17th century fragments of music.

There are a few problematic spots. (Perhaps the composer or writer was in a hurry, the whole thing is difficult to read anyway and it contains some symbols I've never seen before. see screensho.t)

For two consecutive bars the time seems to have changed, from 6/2 to 5/2, which, as far as I know, was never done in that period. There is, in fact no time signature at all but 11 of the 13 bars in the fragment are clearly in 6/2 (or perhaps 3/1) and 2 bars contain notes and rests in both staves that add up to 5/2

That leaves me with the choice: either to ignore it, or correct it. In the latter case I would have to add an augmentation dot to a few notes and rests.

Can anybody tell what the standard procedure is in cases like this one:
- ignore, i.e. tweaking things so that it looks exactly like the manuscript , or
- correct it. In the latter case the corrections or corrected symbols must probably be marked somehow. I can place (?) above the corrected note or rest, which is not very specific.

I would tather like to parenthesize these added augmenation dots but I've not found a way to do that.

Is it at all possible? And if yes, how?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
