This is the encoding of the canon "Bona nox! bist a rechta Ox", K. 561, according to the Neue Mozart-Ausgabe III/10 (ed. Albert Dunning, 1974). The edition of NMA III/10 is encoded as 'source_1'. Addenda and corrigenda to the volume are reported on page b/102 of the Critical Report (Holger M. Stüwe, 2007) which is listed as 'source_2'. Regarding this piece, however, there are no addenda or corrigenda.

The NMA edition used the Alte Mozart-Ausgabe (AMA) as its source, which in turn was based on Mozart’s autograph. By the time of the edition (1974), the autograph (NMA siglum A) was considered lost, but was later found to be held at the Biblioteka Jagiellońska in Kraków, Poland, where it is preserved under the call number Mozart Aut. K 348, 556, 561. The editor also consulted the entry in Mozart’s own autograph work catalogue (NMA siglum AEV) preserved at the British Library, London (call number Zweig MS 63). For more details see the preface to the printed volume and the Critical Report.

Mozart notated the canon in a single line with graphic symbols marking the entries of the voices. Following the NMA, the digital edition offers both, Mozart’s notation as a single part (with a consecutive numbering for the voice entries) as well as a resolution in score provided by the editor; both are coded as two <mdiv>.

The coding of the musical text is faithful to the aforementioned NMA edition. Some normalizations have been applied; for a full description of the editorial principles see the Editorial Guidelines of the DME Music Editions.

The present encoding in MEI 3.0.0 (with some minor customizations) is based on a previous encoding in DOX format. The DOX data were gained from optical music recognition (OMR) and proof reading processes developed and carried out by The Packard Humanities Institute, Los Altos, CA.

For technical reasons, it is possible that some of the original editorial markup not captured by OMR (e.g. small staccato signs) is not represented in the encoded versions.

Lacunae may be reported to the Editorial Office of the DME.
