[Neon staging] Liquescents and obliques look weird
When I uploaded Einsie 138v to Neon staging, both obliques and liquescents separated from their stems:
This is the file: CH-E_611_138v.mei.zip
And this is what it looks like:
I looked at the mei, and I can't tell what's wrong with the obliques. With the liquescents, however, I noticed that a second liquescent line appears under the first one when I upload the file to staging.
So this is the original encoding of the liquescent neume:
<neume xml:id="nns7rm4">
<nc xml:id="m-02f2cef8-d6dc-406d-81d4-2a61de1a0c05" facs="#m-7d690635-ae09-4304-896f-8b93f9a6864c" oct="4" pname="c" curve="a">
<liquescent xml:id="m-903fa7ce-9861-46b5-b8d1-bd24380386c0"/>
</nc>
</neume>
And this is after upload:
<neume xml:id="nns7rm4">
<nc xml:id="m-02f2cef8-d6dc-406d-81d4-2a61de1a0c05" facs="#m-7d690635-ae09-4304-896f-8b93f9a6864c" oct="4" pname="c" curve="a">
<liquescent xml:id="m-903fa7ce-9861-46b5-b8d1-bd24380386c0"/>
<liquescent xml:id="m-b9d67f8b-d3f5-41a7-9817-3d77108aabf5"/>
</nc>
</neume>
I checked previous issues I wrote about staging and obliques looked fine, so this appears to be a relatively recent phenomenon.
Liquescents are doing a funny thing again! Some of them are fine, but some of them are appearing as teeny tiny puncta. Behold:
If I use the neume component selector and try to change their head shape, nothing happens. However, I can delete them and input a new liquescent that looks totally normal.
I don't know why some liquescents are fine and some aren't! I tried looking at the MEI and I can't find the difference... But I can tell you Einsie 148r has a lot of the tiny liquescents:
Small addendum: the fact that using the "Change Head Shape" function doesn't work is actually due to this issue https://github.com/DDMAL/Neon/issues/1239.
Hi! This is because in this file, the parent <nc> of the <liquescent> doesn't have an associated @curve value for some reason. Does this happen to a lot of the files?
@yinanazhou I'd say it was happening 1-4 times in every file I was reviewing (which are in the 140-160 range of Einsie)
@yinanazhou yes and no! The exact behaviour is not happening, but liquescents are still being a tiny bit weird:
If I select any neume component and change its head shape to Liquescent C or Liquescent A, the neume component becomes a punctum. If I do any action, it automatically becomes the correct liquescent.
Interestingly, in the MEI the liquescent is correct as soon as the head shape is changed. It just doesn't show up in Neon for some reason!
It looks like this only happens for liquescents, but it does happen systematically.
