Conventions and Mechanical Notes
German of this period was printed in Fraktur, a very different typeface from the family of Latin typefaces we use now. Throughout the text, text which was NOT printed in Fraktur is {between braces}, except Roman numerals and the title Dr.
Text originally presented in bold is enclosed in **'s, except for character names, which are simply left unmarked. Italic is represented with double leading and trailing underbars. Spaced text is marked with single leading and trailing underbars. Small-font stage directions are noted with =='s. The oe ligature from Middle High German is represented as [oe].
Musical notation is represented [Musik: Titel] and is subsequently followed by the words of the song. As much as practical, words follow the formatting of the original text, to the point that syllables are aligned among verses.
The identifiers for transcriber's notes at the end match those used in the HTML edition. Only spelling corrections are noted. Spellings were corrected based upon the "Regeln..." mentioned by the author in the preface.
