I wonder if anyone has any insight into an odd marking I've come across in
Book One of the Kroepsch 416 Daily Studies (pub. Carl Fischer, rev.

I have occasionally seen a + or - used to indicate that a note should be played either sharp (ish) or flat(er), in order to sound in tune; normally because it is harmonically a leading note or the 7th of a dominant seventh chord of a new key. However I would be surprised if this is the reason here. The other use of a + I have met in baroque works is an indication that a trill or mordent is appropriate, but this doesn't seem to apply either. Is there no foreword that explains this one? I'd rather like to know myself what it means.
Regards,
Martin
