I have seen all of the following in the MS:
- a suspiciously straight left margin, as if the first characters were written on the page before everything else.
- several consecutive lines where there is a vertical jump in the baseline of the writing after 2 or 3 words, as if these 2-3 words were written first and the rest later
- cases where it seems as if line N was written after line N+1
For the first case, one can also see unusual gaps after the first character (unusually wide or narrow)
For the last case there are different ways in which this appears. Sometimes line N+1 is rather strange and line N follows the contour of the tops of the characters of the following lines. In a few cases the loop of a p or f actually intrudes in the line above, and this line above has a wider gap and/or a change in the writing baseline.
This could be the result of the lines not being written completely, but filled in in a section iteration.
I will post some examples, because without them all of this may not be so clear.
