[DCRM-L] cracks in engraved plates

Tue Nov 29 15:15:23 MST 2011

Greetings, I wonder if any of you use any kind of genre terms (or other terms) for obvious cracks in the printing of engraved plates?  I'd never made note of cracks before, but a recent project has made me aware of the usefulness in following the progress of these cracks through an edition, particularly in music.
Thoughts?  Suggestions?
Grateful thanks, Andrea
