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.
• The cantus and the tenor each carry the text, one lyric line per voice, as in the edition; the bassus has no text. Lyrics, punctuation and spelling are copied from the edition.
• The edition writes the piece as two volta repeats, each with two alternative endings. The endings are encoded as MEI ending elements (n='1' and n='2', labelled '1.' and '2.'), the first closing with a repeat bar line, as LilyPond prints them. The edition's MIDI file plays the music as written (each repeated section once, then both of its endings), and the MEI is compared with it in that order.
• The time signature changes from 2/4 to 3/4 and back, written in the cantus and the tenor; as in LilyPond, they apply to all three staves. In the second 3/4 measure the bassus's half note d begins on the third beat and sounds into the next measure; the edition prints it as one half note before the bar line, and it is encoded as two quarter notes tied across the bar line (checks/conversion-report.json, tiedNoteHeadsAddedAtBarLines). Its pitch, onset and length are unchanged.
• 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

• The bassus's half note that the edition prints across the bar line between the two 3/4 measures is encoded as two quarter notes tied across the bar line.
• 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 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.
