The LilyPond source is read by a strict reader for the subset of LilyPond used by the edition (relative pitches, durations, bar checks, ties, triplets, melisma marks, lyrics with hyphens, extenders, skips and underscores joining words on one note). 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. Only the first, untransposed \book of the score template is converted. 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 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 three lyric lines, as in the edition, which texts all three voices. Lyrics, punctuation and spelling are copied from the edition, including lines the edition leaves shorter than the music; where the edition joins two words on one note with an underscore, the encoding has a space, as LilyPond prints it.

The edition's transposed version (c to g, lower voice in bass clef) 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.
