Abstract
Reconstruction techniques for intrinsic quasar continua are crucial for the precision study of Lyman-$\alpha$ (Ly-$\alpha$) and Lyman-$\beta$ (Ly-$\beta$) transmission at $z>5.0$, where the $\lambda<1215 A$ emission of quasars is nearly completely absorbed. While the number and quality of spectroscopic observations has become theoretically sufficient to quantify Ly-$\alpha$ transmission at $5.05.7$ with IR X-Shooter spectroscopy, obtaining well-characterised measurements for the mean flux transmission at $4.7
