I think the reason there are few corrections seen in the text is that there was a light pencil (or other easily erasable medium) version written in before the glyphs were inked.
An example of this is the fourth glyph (first word) on f16r. It looks like an EVA = e glyph. But there is a faint downstroke which would have changed it to an EVA = l glyph. The downstroke is faint green. (This would make the word more understandable to me, if not to any other readers.)
I tried to ask the experts about the possibility of an erasable precursor draft at the Washington DC Folger Library presentation, but was not called on to ask my question.
Thank you.
