Given the category $\coh\sym{X}$ of coherent sheaves over a weighted projective line $\sym{X}=\sym{X}(\und{\lambda},\und{p})$ (of any representation type), the endomorphism ring $\mit\Sigma = \End(\cal{T})$ of an arbitrary tilting sheaf - which is by definition an almost concealed canonical algebra - is shown to satisfy a rank additivity property (Theorem 3.2). Moreover, this property extends to the representationinfinite quasi-tilted algebras of canonical type (Theorem 4.2). Finally, it is demonstrated that rank additivity does not generalize to the case of tilting complexes over $\coh\sym{X}$ (Example 4.3).
