My question is: is this "application" the same as the type of annotation
action from the previous issue? Or could it occur that a project wants
to document types of editorial decisions independently from applying
visual indications of that?
A few unsystematic thoughts:
Well, there are limits to visual indication of critical matters. At
least in some projects it will be impossible for the score to contain
(or even hint to) every bit of information present in the Critical Report.
I really think we should allow for great diversity in the possible
approaches, i.e. editorial policies. In some cases it might be good to
have a simple switch (modernise lyrics or not);
in other cases everything must be decided on a case-by-case basis, with
no automation being possible;
and the type of annotations one will have, as well as how to display
them in both the score and the critical apparatus, will be very
different depending on the project.
Perhaps that at one time our footnotes engine will be sophisticated
enough to be used for such purposes, and include the apparatus in the
actual musical text. It would be good to have hooks for such an approach.
I’m sorry I don’t have the time to take a deeper dive into this, but I
really appreciate your efforts!
Best, Simon
