# Intro and working notes for text20e1-52.evt
#
# TO DO
#
# Text cleanup:
# 
#  ??? Finish conversion to IVTFF notation.
#  ??? Map &-codes to Rene's new weirdo encoding in IVTFF.
#
#  ??? Assign different &{*N} codes, like &{No}, for stars with cores.
#  ??? In circular ring, put proper marker to mark the EVMT starting place?
#  ??? Replace @* by @?, @'**...' by @'???'.
#  ??? Replace @'%%%...%%' by @'???'.
#  ??? Restore "'" for plumes instead of "~" (???).
#
#  ??? Check discrepancies between ;U readings and majority of others.
#
# Alignment and consensus versions:
# 
#  ??? Indicate ligs using {} instead of (), as in IVTFF.
#
# Locus partition and numbering:
# 
#  ??? <f46v.P1.1> through <f46v.P1.7> Decide whether to split into two columns.
#  ??? <f75v.P1.5> Split off the final @s of <f75v.K1.5>.
#  ??? <f78r.X1.5> Decide whether to split into two labels.
#  ??? <f84r.P2.15> Decide whether to split into 10 nymph labels.
#  ??? <f84r.P3.24> Decide whether to split as 11 labels.
#  ??? Create <>-locators for the figures too, so that #-comments can be attached to them.
#  ??? Renumber pages and loci to match Rene's IVTFF
#
# Invariants to check:
# 
#  ??? All lines end with proper delim [-=.,] (plus optional {-}-comment).
#  ??? Chcek only ";U" transcriber.
#  ??? Check no '!' or '%' in VMS text.
#  ??? Lines ending with "." are text rings with unknown starting point.
#  ??? No nested or mismatched [()&{}] in non-# lines.
#  ??? No nested or mismatched [{-}()] in non-# lines.
#  ??? No two consecutive spaces [-=.,].
#  ??? There is a /<f[0-9]+>/ header before each page.
#
# Comment cleanup:
# 
#  ??? Check all comments for final punctuation.
#  ??? Clean up the #-comments taken from the EVMT files (marked with "¤").
#  ??? Make sure that the 1st #-line after each ??? is blank or a title.
#  ??? Normalize nomenclature "text ring", "text circle", "text band", etc.
#  ??? Normalize spacing and place of #-comments to show scope (page, unit, or line).
#  ??? Remove from the unit and locus titles any info dup'ed from title of parent.
#  ??? Remove source image spec from ;U transcriptions.
#  ??? Uniformize "BLI04" for "2004 Beinecke scans" (or "images").
#  ??? Zodiac pages: Add the o'clock position before each nymph label.
#  ??? Zodiac pages: Check the o'clock positions of labels/nymphs from <f72r3> onwards.
#  ??? Zodiac pages: give the o'clock positions of label, nymph and star separately.
#  ??? Zodiac pages: standardize label position to be the start (middle?) of label.
#
# Documentation
# 
#  ??? Make sure all pages have Rene's page number (or not).
#  ??? Observe that one @? means ONE unreadable glyph.
#  ??? Observe that @'???' means ANY NUMBER of unreadable glyphs.
#  ??? Tabulate and describe the new layout markers.
# 
# NOT to do:
#
#  ??? <f67v1> Renumber outer labels to start at 10:00.
#  ??? <f84r.N1> Consider splitting two-word labels into separate loci.
#  ??? <f85v2.Q9> Split unit into three separate units.
#  ??? Add H units for all non-Voynichese text.
#  ??? Add a "=" or some other code at the start of a line that starts a new parag.
#  ??? Check there is <fNN.NN.NN> header before each locus.
#  ??? Check there is a <fNN.NN> header before each unit.
#  ??? Give conjectured Roman letters rather than graphic description for non-V text.
#  ??? In herbal, split the P unit whenever there is a large gap between parags.
#  ??? In recipes section, distinguish red, yellow, and unpainted stars.
#  ??? Invent a notation for "possible parag break", e.g. <%?>, <$?> etc.
#  ??? Make sure that uncontroversial layout markers are uniform across all versions.
#  ??? Nymph labels in biological section: either one unit per page, or one per figure.
#  ??? Turn the gathering marks and folio numbers into H-units.
#  ??? Use "<f...> {R:...}" for non-Voynichese text, rather than #-comments.
