AGN note #5

Closed craigsapp closed 2 years ago

craigsapp commented 2 years ago

I usually encoded separate genre categories:

!!!AGN: Psalm, Tricinium

with semicolon separators:

!!!AGN: Psalm; Tricinium

This is not mentioned in the documentation, I notice:

https://www.humdrum.org/reference-records

But it is implied by how multiple values are given in other reference records in the documentation:

Off topic but just came to my mind fixing this… I saw that in the JRP there are often reference records for informations about number of voices.

E.g. in https://github.com/josquin-research-project/Jos/blob/main/Jos0301a-Missa_Ave_maris_stella-Kyrie.krn

!!!voices: 4
!!!voices-OPR: 4

What are they actually useful for?

!!!voices: 4 means that the score in the file has four voices in the original composition. If there is a missing part, then this value will be 4, but there will only be three **kern spines for the remaining volices. In other words, the purpose of this record is so that I can separate music with missing parts when doing harmonic analyses of the data.

voices-OPR: 4 means that the number of voices in the mass is 4 (considering all sections, which are in separate files).

voices-OPR: 4-5 would mean that there are some sections in 4 voices and others in 5.

voices-OPR: 4-(5) would mean that the sections are mostly in 4 voices, but there are some subsections that expanded out to 5 voices (such as Bassus I and Bassus II parts).
