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.
• Each voice carries its own text as verse 1 of its staff, as in the edition. Lyrics, punctuation, spelling and syllable division are copied from the edition.
• The lowest voice states its tenor melody and text four times; the edition writes each once as a variable and uses it four times, and the encoding follows it measure by measure.
• The edition's transposed version (f to g) is not encoded; the encoding follows the edition at written pitch with its clefs (treble, G_8, G_8).
• 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.

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, altus, tenor) 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.
• The edition's MIDI tempo (quarter note = 120) is not encoded.
• Verovio may draw lyric hyphens and extender lines in other places than LilyPond, which drops hyphens where space is short.
