Inclusive and semiexclusive experimental spectra for transfer reactions leading to continuum final states of the target nucleus contain contributions from different kinds of reactions like breakup and transfer to single-particle and compound nucleus resonance states of the target. We use a theoretical approach already discussed in previous publications to calculate energy spectra for transfer to ${}_{}{}^{208}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Pb}$ continuum final states. We distinguish the breakup and absorption components of the spectra and discuss the initial state and energy dependence.
