I attach a scan of part of the Ave Regina Caelorum by Dufay, and my initial 
attempt to recreate it.  Generally I'm very pleased, but can anyone suggest 
how to:

 * compress the notes more, so they are as close as in the original 
manuscript;
 * add stems to all the ligatures as on the original;
 * make the stems of the ligatures go up rather than down?

Any help with any of these is welcome.  I attach my code below:

\include "gregorian.ly"
\paper {
  ragged-right = ##t
}


\score {
  \new MensuralStaff \with { \remove "Time_signature_engraver" }
  <<
    \new MensuralVoice = "Tenor" {
      \key f \major
      \tempo 1 = 120
      \override Score.BarNumber #'transparent = ##t
      \override NoteHead #'style = #'petrucci
      {
        \stemUp
        \clef "petrucci-c3"
        c' \breve d'1 \[ e' \longa f' \breve \] d'2 c' e'1 g'1. f'2
        \[ e' \longa
        \override NoteHead #'ligature-flexa = ##t
        d' \breve \]
        c'1
        \[ e' \longa
        \override NoteHead #'ligature-flexa = ##t
        d' \breve \]
        c' \breve
        \divisioMaior
        c' \breve a1 bes2 g2 a1 g \breve g1
        a2 bes2 c'1 bes2 \[ c' \longa d' \] c'1
        \divisioMinima
        c' \breve \[ d' \longa e' \] d'2 f'1 e'2 c' d'1 c'2 a1 bes2 c'1 g1 
a2 bes2 g2 c'1 bes2 c'2 e'2 d'1 c' \longa
      }
    }
  >>
  \layout {
    \context {
    \Score
    \override SpacingSpanner
      #'common-shortest-duration = #(ly:make-moment 32 1)
    }
  }
  \midi { }
}
