I would always recommend to keep everything as close as possible to the 
actual style of writing employed by composers like Schein. The original 
1627 printing looks as follows:

Of course, today we would prefer using an actual score in 2 or 4 staves, 
but I'd strongly argue against pretending there is an actual alternating 
metre, actual measures and so on.

I didn't typeset exactly this tune, but here is an example from 
Osiander's collection that I engraved some time ago:
