2 years ago Is it intended that the stem of the maxima is always down?

Here is some extra info for the terminal long RDF marker:
That description is OK, but usually I use:
And I usually reserve it for ends of pieces, as well as medial cadences where they are also used.
The main advantage of this is to allow the last note of the composition to look similar to the original edition, but in the modern score. In mensural music the different parts may end at different times, so the "terminal long" is functioning as a fermata on the last note (so everyone holds their last note until all parts get to the end).
I encode the duration of the last note to be one measure (typically the duration of a breve, as you are doing) — since this note is more of a fermata rather than a real long. (You are doing the same as I do). If the last note does not start at the end of the breve cycle (measure), then I only give it the duration to fill in the rest of the measure.
A feature I added a few months ago is to allow for "terminal maxima" by doubling the
llmarker:So if you want a very diplomatic encoding, you can differentiate easily using this system. I find no rhyme or reason to which is used, and I find in the demo volume example given at the bottom of the IIIF bounding box issue that there can be a terminal long in one part and a terminal maxima in the other part (but clearly they are supposed to have the same duration). And there are cases in the same volume where a terminal long is used rather than a maxima just because there are too many notes on the last line of music (so just to save space).
Here are terminal long and maximas from your source edition:
