What this reader now offers, and what it cost. Friedlein's 1867 Teubner is a critical edition: beneath the text on nearly every page stands an apparatus of variant readings and manuscript sigla, and in the copy this estate held first, the two were interleaved in a single stream of transcribed text. Scored for apparatus content, that copy's segments were unimodal — no clean segment to keep, no dirty one to discard, every one a mixture — so the separation could not be recovered from the text at all. It exists in the page layout, and only the page images could recover it: 422 of 520 pages split, body scoring a median 0.0 against the apparatus's 30.7. The apparatus is 20.5% of the volume. A reader below Scholar is now given Boethius; a Scholar is given Boethius and Friedlein, in that order, which is the order the printed book intends. The withdrawn copy remains readable at musica:1.
