Editorial Guidelines Musical Works

You can download the current document in the following formats:

WeGA

The WeGA native format as documented in our Guidelines.

TEI all

The 'standard' TEI version. WeGA element additions such as workName are mapped to the more generic name element, but no information needs to be dropped.

TEI simplePrint

"An entry-level customization, focused primarily on the needs of those encoding Western European early modern printed material" (http://www.tei-c.org/Guidelines/Customization/). This customization facilitates processing and publishing in particular, but not all WeGA concepts can be transformed. So be warned, this not a lossless transformation.

Plain text

An attempt to create a 'simple' plain text version. All variants, readings, etc. are resolved and from the text structure only paragraphs are marked by a newline. NB: This is considered an experimental feature!
