Positioning the references: References may appear either at the right-hand side or at the foot of the screen. Readers can change the position of the references by changing the width of the window. To change the width, either drag the edge of the window or adjust the magnification (Ctrl+ or Ctrl- on PC, Cmd+ or Cmd- on Macintosh).

Reading the references: Use the note numerals to move back and forth between the main text and the references. The links work in both directions. The linked object will move to the top of its frame.

Opening linked files: In recent issues of JSCM, most examples, figures, and tables, along with their captions, open as overlays, covering the text until they are closed. Nevertheless, readers have choices. In most browsers, by right-clicking the hyperlink (PC or Macintosh) or control-clicking it (Macintosh), you can access a menu that will give you the option of opening the linked file (without its caption) in a new tab, or even in a new window that can be resized and moved at will.

Printing JSCM articles: Use the “print” link on the page or your browser’s print function to open a print dialog for the main text and endnotes. To print a linked file (e.g., an example or figure), either use the “print” command on the overlay or open the item in a new tab (see above).

A Note from the Editor

The articles in this issue cover a broad spectrum of ideas and approaches. Rebecca Cypess focuses on the title of Frescobaldi’s Fiori musicali, exploring the metaphorical thinking it reflects. She ultimately considers the potent connection of flowers and music in Rome under the Barberini, offering a new perspective on Frescobaldi’s book. Holly Roberts examines a Roman oratorio for its treatment of the legend of Saint Cecilia. She shows how Quirino Colombani’s musical representation of Cecilia’s rapture repurposed the saint’s Medieval identity to fit late seventeenth-century devotional practices. Stephanie Carter explores the many subscribers to Thomas Mace’s Musick’s Monument who were connected to the University of Cambridge. The intersections of their lives offer new insights into both practical music-making at the university and the broader cultural and academic discourse. Finally, in a well-turned communication, Martin Morell presents a little-known letter by Tiburzio Massaino as evidence for that composer’s diligent efforts to find new patrons.

Readers who are new to the Journal might want to consult the “Reading JSCM” pop-up at the top of each article or review starting with volume 17. It gives information on choices available to you as you read.

Reviews Editor Don Fader points out that in the wake of the financial dislocation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, publishers are no longer routinely sending hard copies of books for review. Some authors have been submitting review copies directly to us on their own, and Don wants all authors to know that the Journal welcomes submissions of material for review from any source. We encourage authors to work with their publishers in the hope that review copies can be made available through the traditional channels. Questions may be addressed to Don at djfader@music.ua.edu.
