Classifier
The classifier has many features to create, update, delete and see the neumes. You can add neumes by clicking on the add Neume button and filling the information. The new element will have 4 sections. To access the sections, simply click on the purple collapsible rectangle that has the name of the new element on the left corner. Starting from the left, the first section is the drag and drop section using dropzone where you can add images of your element. The second section is where you can add the name, folio and description of the element. The third section is the classifier label that should have a proper syntax :
neume.pes.b.3
The fourth element is the MEI Snippet that holds an ace editor where you can directly code the mei encoding related to your element. Under the snippet, you can also specify whether the code you have written needs to be reviewed for mei errors. The project name can also be changed under the classifier view. To update the name, simply edit the name of the project in the upper left corner and click on the button Update Name to see your changes. The home page of the header will redirect you to the projects page
Pitches
Under the mei encoding column, pitches should be encoded as such : <neume> <nc/> <nc intm="1S"/> </neume>
Where intm = "1S" means that the interval is of 1 semi-tone.
Edit image
To add more images or delete previous images from the classifier, you can click on the Edit images button of the neume. A pop-up window with a view of the images and a dropzone to add images will appear. If you downloaded an image that you didn't want to add to the neume, simply click on the cancel button and you will be redirected to the classifier page. The information will not be saved in the database.
