    Has anyone here taken the time to make a slick edition of Victoria's Popule Meus similar to the one below but with the chant portions in the same style of notation used in the Liber?

    I took a look through past posts and could not find an edition quite like I’m describing. If you happen to see it, please let me know where. Thank you.

    A pox on those who add dynamics and don’t remove inter-staff bar lines.

    I’ve been planning to make exactly what you’re describing since such an edition doesn’t seem to be publicly available. It shouldn’t be too difficult or take very long but I am currently finishing up another CPDL project before I get started on that.

    Sorry I know that doesn’t help you right now, but if you’re interested, I’ll let you know if I manage to have an edition ready within a couple weeks.

    Here are two versions with different layouts. I'll also make transpositions and add page numbers later, but which overall layout would you prefer?

    As much as some of us prefer saving trees, the second. (I’m glad that you understand that in the Solesmes books it is San-ctus). If you add accents to dactyls and polysyllabic spondees I would 110% use this and never look back (two-syllable words need not have accents despite the LU practice).

    And if you added it to CPDL with source (so I can transpose and create my own tracks) you’d be our hero.

    These are beautiful! I can't thank you enough.

    In my context, we'd do fine with the shorter option, especially since the Popule will be on the facing page of the final page of chants.

    I agree with Matthew - accents would be the icing on the cake.

    Well done! I like the shorter version overall, which is pretty similar to what we've been doing for years.

    I think the best argument for the short version is that, for many singers, it's better to sing the same music from the same music, especially if you like to mark things in your music.
