Cautionary accidentals #3

Open pfefferniels opened 4 years ago

pfefferniels commented 4 years ago

I suggest to use cautionary accidentals in the following situations:

Should we mark cautionary accidentals with @enclose="brack"?

pfefferniels commented 4 years ago

And, should they be marked as supplied? @rettinghaus ? :)

rettinghaus commented 4 years ago

Everything added by the editors should be enclosed in supplied tags, using @resp to point to the responsible editor. Cautionary accidentals should be marked with @func="caution". Using brackets I'm not so shure. If we use brackets on the accidentals, we should add them to everything added, to be consistent. Added bass figures are only text lacking @enclose, and thus they would need additional characters. What about letting the users choose their individual stylings with XSLT, like adding brackets, use special colours, or simply hide supplied material?

pfefferniels commented 4 years ago

I like the idea of letting the user choose a lot.

If we enclose everything added by the editor in supplied tags, we also need to encode all the original repetitions of accidentals in a measure and identify their omissions accordingly, or am I missing something? Otherwise we treat cautionary and normal accidentals differently ...

The accidental placement is a bit erratic. @func="caution" is a logical attribute, so it doesn't say anything about, where it may come from. For normalization it could be nice to remove superfluous accidentals. so we could mark those with a <orig> or a <del> or even with a <sic> (without anything else like <choice>). Trying to mark everything, that doesn't fit a higher logic would be overkill.

My proposal: put accidentals in the source that may be omitted in modern scores in <orig>, the ones that are missing for a modern score in <reg>, which itself is contained within a <supplied>.

So I went through all the score files and corrected the accidentals I found. Leaving it open for now since the music example are still missing ...
