Engraving

Verovio 6.3.0-425dd7b, 2 pages

How the encoding was made

• All notes, rests and syllables come from the source edition's LilyPond file at the pinned commit, converted mechanically. Nothing was transcribed from the manuscript for this encoding.
• Pitch, onset and duration of every note and the placement of every syllable were checked automatically against the edition's own MIDI file at written pitch (checks/midi-compare.json).
• Accidentals: written accidentals are encoded where LilyPond's default accidental rule prints them in the edition; sounding alterations are given in @accid.ges on every other altered note. Accidentals the edition marks with its \ficta command (printed above the note) are encoded as editorial accidentals (accid with func='edit', place='above').
• Each voice carries its own text as verse 1 of its staff, as in the edition; the lowest voice is texted only with its incipit 'Super te', as in the edition. Lyrics, punctuation and spelling are copied from the edition.
• The lowest voice states its tenor melody twice; the edition writes it once as a music variable and uses it twice, and the encoding follows it measure by measure.
• The edition's transposed version (c to d, top voice in treble clef) is not encoded; the encoding follows the edition at written pitch with its clefs (G_8 in all voices).
• The edition switches automatic beaming off and writes no beams; none are encoded. Layout instructions of the edition (page size, staff size, system spacing) and its ambitus signs at the start of each staff are not encoded.

Where the encoding differs from the edition

• Ambitus signs printed at the start of each staff in the edition (produced by its layout file) are not encoded.
• System and page breaks follow Verovio's layout, not the edition's.
• Voice names (cantus, tenor, bassus) exist only as LilyPond context names; they are recorded here but not encoded as staff labels, as the edition does not print them.
• The edition's transposed score (second \book of score.ly, with its own PDF and MIDI files) is not converted.
• In the cantus text the edition writes 'nus__' with no space before the underscores; LilyPond reads this as one word and prints the underscores as spaces, with no extender line. The encoding keeps that text ('nus' followed by two spaces).
• The edition's MIDI tempo (half note = 100) is not encoded.
• Verovio may draw lyric hyphens and extender lines in other places than LilyPond, which drops hyphens where space is short.
