Arrow buttons

The arrow buttons in the footer are used for turning pages in the main window, i.e. for moving one page forward or backward (fast forward / fast rewind icon) or moving to the beginning or to the end of the document. Pages can also be turned using the left/right arrow key on the keyboard.

Page and measure selection

The direct navigation of the music edition in the rendering pane to the desired page is possible by selecting 'page', entering the desired page number in the box to the right, and clicking the arrow button or hitting the 'return' key on the keyboard.

The direct navigation to a specific measure within the music edition is possible by selecting 'measure' and entering the measure number in the box, clicking the arrow button or pushing the 'return' key on the keyboard: The rendering moves to the page that contains the requested measure; the measure is highlighted. Turn highlighting off by clicking into the blank space between staves.

Note that the 'page' or 'measure' must be selected before entering the desired number.

Upper box

The upper box holds basic information and metadata such as title, Koechel Catalog number, type of edition (e.g. Autograph Version), movement, and tempo.

'View'Source' Options

The interface offers options for the display of source images. Display and functionalities vary dependent on the type of edition (NMA reference text or alternative source edition) and the format of the source (score or parts).

Link to the NMA Online

This option is available whenever scores from the NMA are selected. A click on 'View score in the NMA Online' opens the page of the NMA Online in synoptic view (half of the rendering pane). The digital edition is aligned with the NMA Online in such a way that pages turn synchronously when using the arrow buttons in the footer or the arrow keys on the keyboard. If the 'Original line breaks' option is activated before going into the viewing mode, a click on 'View score in the NMA Online' opens at the same page as the score in the rendering pane. Leave the synoptic view by clicking the 'close icon' in the left upper corner of the NMA Online.

Note that in most cases, the NMA Online shows the first issued edition of an NMA volume and may differ from the edition shown in MoVi which is usually the most recent edition. For the display of different editions see 'Choose edition'.

Source images of alternative texts

This option is available whenever an alternative edition is selected. Before activating this option, it is necessary to check the "Original line breaks" box. The source image is displayed as an overlay window covering the rendering pane and the sidebar. The image viewer has a zoom function; it can be moved in order to allow the synoptic view of the source and the edition.

This option is currently available for sources in score format only.

Movement selector

If the movement on display is part of a multi-movement work, the movement selector lists the movements of the work in a numbered order and allows the selection of an individual movement of that work.

Some movements may be subdivided into smaller units such as minuets and their trios. In these cases, a click on the movement will show the subunits:

Selector for different editions of the same work

If DIME provides more than one edition of the same work, e. g. a source edition in addition to the NMA reference text, alternative editions are listed here.

Work selection (quick selection menu)

A click on the arrow to the right opens a drop down list sorted by Koechel Catalog numbers.

After clicking on the selected Koechel number, the first movement (in a multi-movement work) is loaded by default.

Texts

This menu gives access to the paratexts: An Editor's Note is displayed for all texts in the Rendering Pane. For DME alternative texts, a Source Description and a Source Evaluation are available.

The Editor's Note is a brief explanation of the source texts that have been used for the encoding as well as a concise statement on the coding itself. It also links to the Editorial Guidelines. It is not considered a substitute for the information given in the printed volumes of the NMA, available, among other places, through the NMA Online.

Select staves

This option allows the selection of individual parts or combinations of parts from the score. Check any box or selection of boxes and click the 'Apply filter' button in order to display individual parts or the selected combination in short score view.

In order to return to the full score, choose 'Select all' and 'Apply filter'.

Audio

Audio output is currently available as MIDI (in piano sound).

The player opens and playback starts immediately once the Audio button is clicked.

The playback can be paused and stopped. During playback, notes in the score are highlighted marking the current playback position. Clicking on any note while playing makes the playback restart from that position.

Default behavior is the highlighting of individual notes ('Highlight every currently played note') which can be changed to 'Highlight current measure'.

The Midi Audio player does not play repetitions, grace notes, and embellishments; it does not distinguish between prima and seconda volta endings.

Some functions such as the MEI Inspector are suspended during playback.

For a limited number of editions, audio alignment with selected sound recordings from the Mozart Audio Visual Collection is available. During playback, the position within the score is highlighted in the rendering pane and pages turn automatically.

Actions

Available actions are 'Print score (PDF)', 'Download', and 'Metadata'.

Print score (PDF)

The 'Print score' option creates a PDF-file of the complete score or a specific selection created with the 'Select staves' option which is either automatically downloaded into the default download folder or is called up when clicking the print button depending on the web browser settings. Available page orientation is landscape (oblong) or portrait (upright) format.

Download

The 'Download MEI File' option allows the download of the file on display. The file receives the file extension '.mei' and is automatically saved to the user's default download folder after clicking the 'Download MEI file' button.

Along with the file, a link to the MEI file is created functioning as application programming interface.

Metadata

The 'Metadata' option creates a dataset in the bibliographic standard of Dublin Core from the MEI-header of the file on display.

Navigator

The 'Navigator' is a special tool for navigation, ideally throughout the complete musical oeuvre of Wolfgang Amadé Mozart. It allows accessing any work on a detailed level by creating an ID (PURL) which can be copied and saved for citation. Filling the PURL into the address bar of a web browser opens the Mozart Score Viewer and displays the requested element. Currently the Navigator works on the level of works, movements, subunits of movements, and measures. The Navigator is ideal for the quick navigation to another movements or measures.

A Navigator ID consists of two parts, the URL of the Score Viewer/Navigator (http://dme.mozarteum.at/movi/navigator) and a – human readable – number code for the individual element.

Once an ID is generated it is ready for download to the clipboard by clicking the 'Copy URL to clipboard' button.

IDs for measures can be generated in two ways:

• Every time a measure is called up through the 'Page and measure navigation' in the MoVi Footer, the Navigator creates an ID which is displayed in the Mozart Navigator panel.
• Values can be manually filled into the boxes of the Navigator. After clicking the 'create' button, the complete ID is shown in the display box on top of the Navigator panel and is ready for download.

Since the IDs are human readable, URLs can also be created by assembling the relevant parameters after the mold of existing URLs/IDs. In order to compose the number code manually, the following groups of numbers, separated by slashes, have to be strung together: Koechel number (3 digits), movement number (3 digits), part of movements, e.g. for Minuets and Trios (2 digits), and measure number (4 digits).

In the case of invalid Koechel and movement values, the movement currently on display is reloaded and the warning 'Invalid navigator values' appears; in the case of invalid part and measure values, the requested movement is loaded but it starts with the first measure by default.

Between searches, the Navigator service needs to be reset by closing and reopening the Navigator.

The functionalities are currently limited to works already available as digital editions in DIME.

Regularizations

This option, available only in DME alternative texts, displays all measures that have been adopted in order to convert the historical notation of the source into a modernized and regularized text.

Basic formal normalizations (e.g. the standardized spelling of performance markings, some shorthand notation) are marked in the code with a simple tag and can thus be highlighted during visualization.

In more complex cases such as the horizontal positioning of dynamics, the historic or modern use of accidentals, or the resolution of copymarks, it is possible to display the original reading of the source in addition to the regularized versions.

Editorial interventions

Additions

Additions made by the editors of the NMA or, in the case of DME alternative texts, by the DME editors can be highlighted by clicking the 'Additions' button. Elements are highlighted by shading in purple. Highlighting is turned off by clicking the 'Reset' button.

The adoption of variant readings from secondary sources by the editors of the NMA may be indiscriminately displayed together with free additions, but may be filtered. For the way additions and variant readings are treated in a particular edition see the Editor's Note and the Editorial Guidelines.

Conjectures

This option is available only in DME alternative texts. In DIME, conjectures are defined as the re-interpretation of notational elements already existing in the source such as the adjustment of a slur or the repositioning of a dynamic marking. Since DME alternative texts are, by definition, source editions based on one single source, conjectures do not relate to evidence from other sources or to free additions that are at the discretion of the editor. For this reason, conjectures in the sense of DIME usually allow the display of the adjusted reading, the conjecture along with the 'original' reading of the source.

Annotations

The 'Annotations' button is only visible in those cases where the edition actually has annotations.

DIME uses different categories of annotations. In remastered texts from the NMA, only a limited range of footnotes, those regarding performance aspects of the piece underpinned by readings in the underlying sources, are preserved and labelled as 'NMA-notes'. Footnotes that reference the Critical Report or other parts of the NMA are excluded; ossia readings in footnotes or above staves are integrated into the edition as variant readings.

In DME alternative texts, there are three categories of annotations: 'DME-comments' report difficult readings in the sources and the ensuing consequences for the edition or interpretations; 'DME-observations' mostly inform about findings and readings of the source, e.g. genetic information, without direct consequences for the interpretation; 'DME-references' point at specific places in the score or at secondary sources.

Collate DME editions

This option allows a basic comparison between NMA reference texts and DME alternative texts. The point of reference is always the NMA reference text; currently, it is not possible to compare one DME alternative text with another. At this stage, the detections and display of differences is limited to differences spanning one measure. Occurrences are displayed synoptically in an overlay window; differing elements are highlighted. These elements may appear unvaried; the full difference is possibly only visible in the underlying code which may be displayed by clicking on the highlighted element.

NMA editions

This option lists the NMA editions and Critical Reports used for the digital edition in reverse chronological order. In many cases, NMA volumes have been reissued in amended second or third editions. By default, MoVi displays the last documented edition in the NMA series, usually the most recent edition, but earlier editions can be selected as well. In some cases, the most recent version results from the combination of the Addenda and Corrigenda listings in the Critical Report and the corresponding musical text in the NMA. In these cases, the Editorial Office of the DME applied the corrections to the existing music edition. Clicking the 'show' button lists all the pages where differences between editions occur:

Differences between all available editions are displayed synoptically in an overlay window after clicking on the info button.

A click on the desktop – now gray – outside the overlay window, turns the overlay window off.

Configure MEI Inspector

As an alternative to the display of the full MEI code (tab MEI Code), MoVi offers the MEI Inspector. The MEI Inspector is a tool for the display of small units of MEI code, e.g. a note or a slur, directly in the Rendering Pane.

By moving the mouse over an element in the score, the color of the element turns purple; when the element has changed color, a click will show the MEI code of the element in a square framed window. At the same time, the button "Copy to clipboard" will appear in the right upper corner of the Rendering Area which allows copying the code to the clipboard for further use.

Individual snippets of code such as the xml:id may be copied by highlighting and copying the code (e.g. with key shortcuts, according to the operating system in use) directly in the display window.

The window remains visible until the white space between staves is clicked. The display window is floating; it can be shifted by moving the mouse over the frame (till a hand symbol appears) and dragging it to the desired position.

In order to be displayed, the element must have an xml:id.

Users can configure the Inspector by choosing from three levels of granularity:

• Inspect only currently clicked element (note, rest etc.)
• Inspect whole current layer
• Inspect whole current measure

In the case of the first level of granularity, only the code of the element itself and possibly other elements that are nested into it are shown, but no other element that may be wrapped around it, e.g. a <supplied> element. For this purpose, it is recommended to use the option Inspect whole current layer which shows the code for the whole layer within the measure in question. For the display of all elements within a measure, use the option Inspect whole current measure.
