Inscriptions across witnesses #10

Open gerritbruening opened 6 years ago

gerritbruening commented 6 years ago

@dietmarpravida, @wissenbach, @thvitt, is there such thing as inscriptions across witnesses? I mentioned this as a theoretical possibility in https://github.com/faustedition/faust-gen-html/issues/569#issuecomment-422033882. In real-life genesis this is quite commen (e.g., when a witness is fragmented afterwards, or when physical parts of one and the same witness end up as separate archival documents). But I have no idea if you modeled this at that time, and I don't know if you take this possibility into account when it comes to processing the data.

the case mentioned is not just a theoretical possibility

thvitt commented 6 years ago

it is not supported by my implementation, and I currently neither see a way of encoding this nor a way of dealing with this.

Maybe we can discuss and improve inscription handling in a more general, less hacky way after the 1.0 release?
