Page 12 of the "6-B-21B" photo guide shows that the edge of the skin is
wrapped around the tube. This works best if you minimize the edge distance.
As it says in the guide "Wait to bevel the front edge until after the skin
is riveted"

I recall one builder relief cut slots (with stop holes at their back)
between the rivets to minimize the ripple.

I assume this is a reference to the forward edge of the top skin, just
aft of the cockpit (6F14-2 on my 601HD/HDS drawing). If so, the
following may be helpful.
I made relief slots which are actually more like wide notches with the
notch the same depth as the rivet edge distance. My rivets are spaced
at approximately 50mm. The notches are tapered at about 45 degrees, so
that the tab containing each rivet is about 30mm wide at its forward
edge. The tabs are rolled smoothly around the tube. As I remember, I
formed the tabs before I rivetted the skin in place, so I could
"over-bend" them a little bit for a tighter fit.
If I were to do it again, I believe I would not roll the skin, but
simply finish the outstanding edge with a molded U-channel, ACS p/n
05-01400 or something similar.

I could not get the roll to look good on mine, so I covered it with leather. So
too, I kept the full width of the top skin rather than trimming the sides, this
gave me 2 rows of rivets. The skin lays much better against the side skins
just below the longerons.
I saw Paul's 601XL in Camas, WA yesterday. It looks to be 2 or 3 weekends from
flying. Great job Paul!
I am having lunch with Hans in LA tomorrow and hope to see at least one of Jim's
aircraft Tuesday.
I am spending Wednesday in Las Vegas and then heading back to school for my senior
year. I have to move in Saturday morning.
This has been an amazing summer, thank you all who have made it just that much
better. :O)
