Oxford, Corpus Christi College, MS 59 Oxford Corpus Christi College MS 59 GB-Occc 113v Folios as stated by the edition's metadata.yaml ('GB-Occ MS 59', 'No. 2, fol(s)/pages 113v'). tools/stcpress.py with tools/lyimport (LilyPond subset reader, MEI score writer)

The LilyPond source is read by a strict reader for the subset of LilyPond used by the edition (relative pitches, durations, bar checks, manual beams, lyrics with hyphens, extenders, skips and stanza labels). Accidentals are written where LilyPond's default accidental rule prints them; every altered note also carries its sounding accidental (@accid.ges). Lyrics are attached to notes with LilyPond's \lyricsto rules. Any construct outside the subset stops the conversion. No music was entered or corrected by hand.

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 (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.

Lyrics, punctuation and spelling are copied from the edition, including the lone '-' syllable in verse 3 ('Leve - di'), which the edition engraves as its own syllable. Stanza numbers are encoded as verse labels.

Beams are encoded where the edition beams explicitly (the edition switches automatic beaming off). Layout instructions of the edition (page size, staff size, system spacing) and its ambitus signs at the start of each staff are not encoded.
