Chapter 2. Comparing Resources
Overview
-
After logging in and clicking Annotator button, the app will open up an empty workbench in “Select” Mode.
-
Click on the “ + “ button next to “Views,” in the upper left side of the window to add materials to the Workbench. This will open a list of the sources available to the app. (The workset for the project is automatically loaded.)
- “Transcript” will load a rendering of the MEI encoding of the source into the viewer.
- “IIIF” will load a high-resolution image of the source.
- If a button is greyed out, the resource view is not available.
- Where possible, image resources have been processed with the Edirom Cartographer app, which uses OMR to recognize barlines and apply measure numbers.
For this tutorial, we will compare two piano-vocal arrangements of Beethoven op. 92.
-
Open the Library “ + “ and scroll to “Sinfonien, Nr. 7, op. 92 (A-Dur).”
-
Scroll down to the arrangement by Friedrich Silcher, published by G. A. Zumsteeg, and click the “Transcript” button. The score appears in the upper pane of the Workbench.
-
Open the Library again “ + “ and select the transcription of the Pittman arrangement, published by Augener & Co.
-
You should now have two pieces loaded into the Workbench, ready for comparing, marking, and annotating.
-
Additional pieces and views can be added and will appear below. Panes can be resized as needed.
-
Panes can also be reoriented
to view scores with multiple parts or to fit full page image scan.
