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 (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 upper voice carries the text: five stanzas on three lyric lines, as in the edition (stanzas 1-3 under the first statement of the music, stanzas 4-5 under the second); stanza numbers are encoded as verse labels. The lower voice is untexted, as in the edition. Lyrics, punctuation and spelling are copied from the edition.
• The edition sets LilyPond's ignoreMelismata in stanzas 3 and 5. As in LilyPond, a setting written before a syllable takes effect from the next syllable, so it governs the syllables 'nat' and 'us' (stanza 3) and 'vil' and 'suo' (stanza 5): each goes to the next note even inside a melisma. The MIDI check confirms the placement.
• The edition repeats each statement of the music with volta repeat signs; the encoding gives the same repeat bar lines. The edition's MIDI file plays each statement once, and the MEI is compared with it without the repeats.
• 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, page breaks) 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) exist only as LilyPond context names; they are recorded here but not encoded as staff labels, as the edition does not print them.
• An invisible bar line inside a measure of the upper voice (\bar ""), which only lets LilyPond break the line there, is not encoded.
• The edition's melisma marks (\melisma ... \melismaEnd) only steer the lyric placement; they are not encoded as such.
• The edition's MIDI tempo (quarter note = 140) is not encoded.
• Verovio may draw lyric hyphens and extender lines in other places than LilyPond, which drops hyphens where space is short.
