Resources on evolution of stress systems

[Raholeun]

In my current sub-project, I want to trigger some shifts in accents in specific environments. Approaching this subject through the historical method, I am looking for some good papers on the subject. Synchronic descriptions of accentual systems are welcome too, but I am specifically interested in papers on their historical development. Starting with one useful paper:

The history of the Franconian tone contrast (Boersma)

Let me look through my Big List Of Papers… ah, here we go:

Lahiri, A., 2015. Change in Word Prosody. The Oxford Handbook of Historical Phonology. https://doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199232819.013.020
Blust, R., 2001. Some Remarks on Stress, Syncope, and Gemination in Mussau. Oceanic Linguistics 40, 143–150. https://doi.org/10.2307/3623268
Koch, J.T., 1987. Prosody and the Old Celtic Verbal Complex. Ériu 38, 143–176. https://www.jstor.org/stable/30007524

Also, you should look at this one for a really good synchronic overview of stress systems:

Hayes, B., 1995. Metrical stress theory: principles and case studies. University of Chicago Press, Chicago.
