7 years ago Here is a draft of a critical-notes template, using the ATON system (ATON meaning "@ Object Notation in case you are wondering). We can discuss this and refine it on Monday. This template removes much of the formatting from the current template and will therefore allow more adjustment of the layout later.

@EMENDED_READING: None
@CRITICAL_NOTE: {{MM 14}} and {{MMx 18}}, T, text reads “forza o d’arte”
and “forza od arre,” respectively.
@CRITICAL_NOTE: In corresponding sections from reprint RISM B/I,
1598-10, text reads “forza d’arte” consistently across the three
part-books. The variant “forza o d’arte” occurs again in T from
reprint RISM B/I, 1604-13.
@COMMENTARY:
This three-voice piece by Roman composer Giovannelli appeared
in the second book of the anthology <i>Fiori musicali</i>,
assembled by Giacomo Vincenzi and dedicated to Francesco
Sugana of Treviso.
Like the first book of the anthology, it primarily features
works by Roman and Venetian composers, many based on texts
by Tasso.
Giovannelli’s three-voice setting of “Non è questa la mano”
is striking not only for its liveliness — note the
hectic repetition of rhythmic-melodic motives in {{mm 30 33}}
— but also for its ingenuous word painting.
In particular, Giovannelli gives a musical representation
of the poem’s subject, the female hand, by referencing the
Guidonian hand at the beginning and at the end of the setting
— note the <i>hexachordum durum</i> G-E in {{mm 1 2}}
and {{mmx 5 6}} in C and B, respectively, and the <i>hexachordum
naturale</i> C-A in {{mm 2 4}} (ascending) and {{mm 30 31}}
(descending) in the T and B, respectively.
Giovannelli may have borrowed this idea from Marenzio, whose
1581 setting of the same poem also features hexachords (see
{{work "Trm0047b"}}).
@@END: CRICITAL_REPORTNote that the original clefs will be encoded into a spreadsheet, and then migrated into a settings index (in /data/indexes/*-settings.aton) as well as the mensuration signs, so these will not need to be included in the critical report files again (I will extract them from the settings index data).
Here is the raw template with the content stripped out:
@@BEGIN: CRITICAL_REPORT

@COMMENTARY:
@@END: CRICITAL_REPORTThe report starts and ends with @@ markers. The parameters inside these BEGIN and END markers can be in any order. The TMP catalog number of the work is in @CATALOGNUM:.
Principal sources are in one (or more) @PRINCIPAL_SOURCE: fields. Other sources are in one or more @OTHER_SOURCE: fields. When a line break is needed in one of these entries <br> is used. If italics are needed then <i> and </i> enclose the text to be italicized.
@EMENDED_READING: is used to add an emended reading note (multiple fields if more than one).
@CRITICAL_NOTE: is used for each critical note
@COMMENTARY: is for the commentary section, using <p> to start a new paragraph. In this case I separated out the sentences with blank lines between them, but they would merge into a single paragraph since there is no <p> between them.
I added a new template macro called "siglum", such as {{siglum "B-Br"}}. These will expand into the full name of the institution and country. But to do that, we will need to make a spreadsheet of all of the siglum that are referenced (and then converted to an ATON file on the website in /data/support/sigla.aton. Note that the siglum has to be enclosed in quotes, unlike the measure numbers in mm template macros.
There is a general problem with dashes that should be dealt with in a systematic way. Hyphens should be encoded as hyphens, but n-dashes and m-dashes should probably best be encoded as either – and — or as -- and --- (the last method will be more readable in Word).
All of this can be done in M$ Word, but then it would be copied into a file created on the Github website. This one would be called /data/reports/Trm0047m.aton, for example. The main thing to take account of is that visual italics will not copy/paste from Word into the Github editor (which is why HTML italic tags <i> and </i> are needed. Also there are probably complications dealig with n-dashes, m-dashes (as mentioned above) as well as quotes (there are left/right quotes in the sample template content which come from Word, and they are displaying properly on the website, but we would have to be careful about not mixing with plain straight quotes. Similarly for apostrophes.
Once the new template system is set up, adding the file to Github in /data/reports will automatically place the contents of the template on the corresponding work page. Trm0047m.aton will appear on http://www.tassomusic.org/work?id=Trm0047m for example. As we tested out last week, it can take up to 10 minutes for the website to update if Github is busy, so it will not actually be instantaneous.
Create workpage template using Trm0047m workpage as a model.
