NOTE: The sigla for Ljubljana 17 and 18 have changed to Ljubljana,
Nadškofijski arhiv (Archiepiscopal Archives), 18 (olim 17) and
Ljubljana, Nadškofijski arhiv (Archiepiscopal Archives), 18 (olim 17).
CantusIDNumbers have been abbreviated by one digit (i.e., the
intermediary "0" has been removed).
The coding for Easter Drama chants has been modified. "D" for
"dramatic element" replaces the generic genre "M" ("miscellaneous") for
these items.
We have adopted new "cantusIDNumbers" for Mass chants, and have begun
to replace the generic genre "G" with more specific genre
identifications ("Of" for offertories, "Gr" for graduals, etc.).
The mass service code "MI" has been created, too. These numbers
and codes will be used in future indices whenever items for the Mass
are included in antiphoners (as happens frequently in the Kraków
codices listed above).
The genre field is now 3 characters in length.
Full melodies or melodic incipits continue to be added in Volpiano font
to some records. (Please consider a donation if you have some
spare time to transcribe some chants!)
Some minor edits to other files have occurred.
