  abstract     = {{Several early music projects, such as the Stanford Josquin Project, have demonstrated the potential for attaining valuable new musicological insights using a corpus-based approach. However, the available musical corpora tend to be relatively small and exhibit considerable variation in encoding practices. Aspiring corpus researchers are confronted with a lack of suitable data, which needs to be addressed before they can embark on their proper research. The EarlyMuse Short Term Scientific Mission CORSICA has surveyed the current state of corpus creation and digital editing in early music. Based on this information, it has developed a vision for the future of corpus building in this field, which aims to speed up the production of digital encodings while respecting the autonomy of the encoders and acknowledging their efforts. This is important because much high-quality encoding is carried out outside the field of professional musicology, and engaging citizen scientists could help address the current shortage of research data. The CORSICA team‘s vision is informed not only by a study of the available data, standards and technologies, but also by Human-Computer Interaction, placing human goals and values before the creation of technology and work processes. The core of the vision is that successful corpus creation must be an inclusive endeavour in terms of both technology and human participation. The report concludes with an implementation plan outlining the initial steps required to realise the vision.}},

Extension of mei-friend's facilities for editorial mark-up through a re-worked annotation panel (now renamed to enrichment panel). Thanks to @annplaksin! See documentation at https://mei-friend.github.io/docs/advanced/markup/.

Redevelopment of git integration for more stable and sustainable collaborative editing.

@inproceedings{57201,
  abstract     = {{The mei-friend editor aims to address the challenges faced in the "last mile" of preparing MEI encodings, specifically the conversion and correction of the encodings through a user-friendly interface that allows users to manipulate the MEI encoding through an interactive rendering display. To complement these functions, various tools for enriching encodings with annotations and markup are currently under further development, allowing for the creation of high-quality digital resources and digital music editions. The goal is to increase the users’ abilities to manipulate the encoding based on selections within the visual rendering of the score. However, the complexity of adding support for editorial markup in MEI requires careful consideration of technical possibilities and project needs. This paper explores the needs of music editors based on user-centred approaches to understand the challenges of UI design and bridge the gap between user goals and technological systems. By considering the people, activities, contexts, and technologies involved in digital music editing, the aim is to develop a tool that enhances the creation of digital music editions while accommodating the complexities and requirements of the musicological research community. Interviews conducted with music editors as prospective users provided valuable insights into their work, informing the development process.}},
