Copy the text in all three black boxes to create a new webpage, or copy only the middle box's contents if you already have the Humdrum notation plugin setup in your page and want to add another example. The width of the music notation on this page is 590 pixels, so when placing in a containing element that is 590 pixels, the layout will match the one for the music on this page. Adjust the following slider to change the target width for the HTML example:

Editing the music

If you want to make changes to the musical content that is not available in the typesetting menu (such as correcting a note, or cutting off the music in the middle of a measure), then load the music into Verovio Humdrum Viewer (see the docs for editing details). Also, here is a link to the compiled version of the data filters in VHV, which may be easier to edit since it only contains the music that you see on the left, not the entire chorale if a range of measures is selected.
