Against the edition

Every note (221) and syllable (130) matches the edition’s own MIDI file in pitch, onset and duration.

Engraving

Verovio 6.3.0-425dd7b, 1 page

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 (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 tenor is texted only with its incipit '[PROPTER] VERITATEM', as two words under its first two notes, as in the edition. Lyrics, punctuation and spelling are copied from the edition.
• The edition prints the tenor's text smaller (\override LyricText.font-size = #-1); these are layout settings of the lyric line and are not encoded.
• 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 tenor's text is printed smaller in the edition; the encoding does not record the size.
• 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.
