  abstract = {Established in 2003, the Edizione critica delle opere di Vincenzo Bellini (Milan, Ricordi) plans to publish all of Bellini's music in a critical edition, serving a dual purpose: philological, to render musical texts that reflect authorial intention; and practical, to provide users and performers with reliable scores that correct errors perpetuated by traditional editions. Its traditional printed book format presents, however, several practical limitations: a) it does not allow simultaneous visualization of alternative materials; b) users lack access to the sources on which the volumes are based; c) the text of the main score cannot be modified, preventing the use of alternative materials. This poster illustrates the research objectives of the NextGenerationEU-funded project VerDigital (University of Pavia), which intends to overcome these limitations by combining the meticulous editorial approach of the series with tools offered by digital musicology. Specifically, VerDigital will employ the Edirom digital tools and Verovio to develop two interconnected models. 1) A model of digital critical edition using Bellini's "Adelson e Salvini" as a case study. The model does not simply provide encodings (MEI) of the individual sources, which do not allow for the reconstruction of a complete edited text that can be used by performers. Instead, it also presents an encoding of the edited text, offering data to retrace the editorial process. Relying on a tailored combination of Edirom, MEI and Verovio, the model develops an interactive system of fruition, allowing performers to choose among alternative readings/versions to customize their score/parts. 2) The second model focuses on Bellini's so-called 'studi giornalieri', attesting the first phases of his creative process. The model aims at connecting two different encodings: a 'diplomatic-interpretive' one, based on the actual spatial organization of the annotations in the pages, and another 'linearized' transcription, centered on the textual features of every fragment.},
