Dear Arlo,
I have opted for solution #2 (marking corrections with @type, although in
those cases I mark both the a.c. and p.c. reading with type):
e.g.
<app>
<lem wit="#J" type="pc">मेत्ता</lem>
<rdg wit="#J" type="ac">मत्ता</rdg>
<rdg source="#N #Bh">मित्ता</rdg>
</app>
rendered (in XeLaTeX with reledmac):
[image: image.png]
and for the opposite situation:
<app>
<lem wit="#J" type="ac">णो</lem>
<rdg wit="#J" type="pc" source="#N #Bh">णे</rdg>
</app>
rendered:
[image: image.png]
The only problem with this is that the @type attribute applies to the
entire rdg/lem element, which means that if there are other attributes
indicating other manuscripts or sources (as the second example shows),
nothing explicitly links "a.c." or "p.c." to the manuscript witness. In my
setup I have a convention whereby these @type attributes are interpreted as
"going with" with @wit attribute, not with the @source attribute, but in a
situation where you have multiple witnesses, you might need to refine this.
I note that the Digital Latin Library has (independently) adopted a similar
approach:
https://digitallatin.github.io/guidelines/LDLT-Guidelines.html#apparatus-cri...
Another, probably better, option is to use <rdgGrp> for all of the readings
of a particular witness, although this makes rendering/processing a little
bit more difficult.

Dear colleagues,
Say we have declared three witnesses P Q and R and we are facing a scenario whereby the accepted reading is in one case the result of scribal correction in the witness.
Say that the display I desire is like this:
vijayaḥ Ppc Q ◇ vajayaḥ Pac vajayo R
How do I get there? I am surprised to find no guidance in the TEI guidelines.
I have imagined the following two encoding approaches. What do you think?
APPROACH 1 <app>
vijayaḥ</lem> <rdg wit=”#P”><sic>vajayaḥ</sic></rdg> <rdg wit=”#R”>vajayo</rdg> </app> and its counterpart if it is actually the ac reading that is accepted: <app> vijayaḥ</lem> <rdg wit=”#P”><corr>vajayaḥ</corr></rdg> <rdg wit=”#R”>vajayo</rdg> </app> APPROACH 2 <app>
vijayaḥ</lem> <rdg wit=”#P” type=”ac”>vajayaḥ</sic></rdg> <rdg wit=”#R”>vajayo</rdg> </app> and its counterpart if it is actually the ac reading that is accepted: <app> vijayaḥ</lem> <rdg wit=”#P” type=”pc”>vajayaḥ</sic></rdg> <rdg wit=”#R”>vajayo</rdg> </app> Thanks and best wishes,
Arlo
