Welcome to the club! Thanks to Frescobaldi which saves me a lot of time,
I'm currently typesetting a bunch of Bach Chorales
from a Breitkopf & Härtel's edition. At this time I use the BWV
references of jsbchorales.net. but not the sources which are different
from mine.
It seems there are a lot of corrections but I don't know if it's allowed
to use them with the aim of a copyleft *publishing*. (Probably under a
Free Art license). More exactly whose sources are coming from? Are they
all authentified? No copyright editor behind the hood? Has anyone more
informations?
My idea is to publish in a book different versions of a chorale one
after the other. I join 2 examples. And later, I'd like to upload the
voices as dictations in GNU Solfege.
I'm very curious of your batch modes. More about this? May be it could
be useful for a diff beetween my old reference and this new rather than
checking PDFs.
Regards.
Phil.
