Editorial policy

The main guideline for the editorial board is to make the editions performer-friendly and available not only in various formats (eg with or without a blank line above a figured bass line for an individual's own realisation) but also with specialised information on matters of performance (pitch, forces, pronunciation, context).

All editions include full prefatory information: editorial method and commentary as well as relevant performing information (scoring, original forces, pitch, context). Composer biographies are included. Translations are also provided and may be used with appropriate acknowledgement.
