Date established:
Base transcription: [source used to begin with, ‘best’ if there is one]
Sources:
[Siglum [tab] MS identifier], fols. [(modern numeration) if so] [tab] [composer ascription; ‘—’ if anon. in source]
Sources: repeat sigla as necessary; sources in chronological order as in List of works to be edited.
Document header is non-mandatory for rendering in the editor.
Enclosing tags work like XML elements:
<tag: qualifier, qualifier> ... </tag>
<piece: {mensural: [void|full]}, {staf: 5, [black|red]}>... </piece><section: [Kyrie|Gloria|etc.|Aleph|Beth|etc.]>...</section><pars>...</pars>-
<part: [Supremum|Contratenor|Tenor|Bassus (in [] if necessary)]>... </part>
[new part on a new paragraph for convenience]
-
<label: [rot90c|rot90a if rotated], [vertical position of start if rotated, of baseline if not rotated and not = 0]>...</label>
[colon should be omitted if no qualifiers] -
<text: [vertical position of baseline if not = 0]>...</text>
[colon should be omitted if no qualifier]
-
<red>...</red>

<full>...</full>

<lig>...</lig>[for ligatures] -
<obl>...</obl>[obliquity in a ligature] -
<ll: [-1 = one leger line below the staff; 2 = two above, etc.][, colour if other than that of staff]>...</ll>[ledger line] -

If it makes for easier reading, the enclosing tags can be spaced around their contents:
<tag> ... </tag>.
extended Guidonian:
- AA–GG (GG = Gamma ut),
- G–A,
- g–a (c = middle C),
- gg–aa, etc.
M = maxima
L = longa
B = breve
S = semibreve
m = minim [upward stem; for downward stems (deprecated) prefix -m, -s, etc.]
s = semiminim
f = fusa
b = flat [NB: all accidentals should be located as in sources, not as in modern usage]
h = natural
x = sharp
c = custos
All pitched items should be identified by note value followed immediately by pitch (e.g. Bg).
0 = 2nd leger line below staff
2 = 1st leger line below staff
4 = 1st staff line, etc.
odd numbers = spaces
An unambiguous dot of augmentation or perfection should follow immediately after the note affected: e.g. Bg.
If it is not in the conventional space (i.e. the same space as a note on a space, or the space just above a note on a line), its numerical vertical position should be indicated.
Dots of division or ambiguous dots should be spaced away from notes on either side and their vertical position indicated: e.g. Ba Sg .7 Sf Bg
Rest
P[note value, breve or less][numerical vertical position of space]
(e.g. PS7)
(Group) of longa rest(s)
PL[numerical vertical position of lowest space]-[position of highest space][x[2|3] if called for]
(e.g. PL5-7, PL7-11x2)
-
*= fermata above note
[+ numerical vertical position if not the next space] -
-*= fermata below note [ditto]
-
?= signum congruentiae above note [ditto] -
-?= signum congruentiae below note [ditto]
- | = barline
- || = double barline, etc.
By default, barlines extend across the entire staff; if they are shorter or longer, the numerical vertical position of the bottom and top must be specified, e.g.: ||2-14
[number of barlines in repeat sign]:[numerical vertical position of lowest space]-[position of highest space]
e.g. 2:5-7
- ^ = (in music) superimposed on preceding item; useful for podatus-style ligatures (e.g.
<lig>Ba ^Lc</lig>) or ‘double stops’ (e.g.Ba ^{full}Bc), etc. - ^ = (in text) superscript (
^...^if necessary); - in variants,
[source siglum]^*= original reading,[siglum]^c= corrected reading -
[-]= adds horizontal space -
_= reduces horizontal space
