Revision 1 

Lyric

The first prologue page in the manuscript has many deletions. Strikethroughs are among the most prevelent markings. Some words are replaced, bur more common are the stirkethrough markings. The predominance of the strikethrough marking exemplifies the difficulties discussed in the previous (Orgin) page.

Like revision 1, revision 2 the strikethrough is the most common marking. Additinoally, squiggly lines have been drawn that seperates the lyric into two.

Revision 3

Lyric

In contrast to the first and second revision, revision three is condensed in lengeth. The previous works have fewer handwritten lines. Likewise, the side annotation differntiates this revision. The lines appear as a paragraph ended by a semicolon that is another marking that distinguishes the third revision from the previous two processes.

Revision 4

Lyric

Like revision three, revision four is condensed and the lines end with the semicolon marking. Note that from the first to fourth revision, the insertion and deletion markings have decreased- as has the length. Creative revision processes have reshaped and reformed the look of the handwritten lyric pages.
