Subject: New BT scribe checking in
Hi Sean, Jim, and all :--
Just started on the B/T supplement last night, and will post in a day or two.
OCR is reading two different diacriticals as acutes. See "freodom", at the beginning of line 13 on D0001 p.1; the first is definitely an o-acute, but I'm guessing the second is an o-long...yes? I'm treating them separately so far, and have 364 longs (A,AE,a,ae,i,o,u,y) to 65 acutes(U,a,e,i,o,u,y). For comparison, Cook's Cynewulf has tons of longs and no acutes at all.
On odd characters, I have one at D0001 p.4, a-belgan entry, center of the next to last line, looking like a Old English z, which OCR called j. For now, it's "aboljen ERROR").
On consistancies: I vote for Roman numerals bold, and a space between numbers and letters (II a, 121 a).
OCR skipped one line at the bottom of D0001 p.2, but otherwise has been very good.
