Thanks, but unfortunately the resolution isn't good enough to see anything 
useful.
Maybe better a small excerpt of a page but with bigger resolution?

I haven't seen one in reality, but I just happen to have talked about it with 
my Ph.D. advisor who is one of the project leaders of the Reger edition.
He told me that there is a printed volume and an accompanying DVD. This DVD 
contains all relevant (i.e. used) sources in the best available resolution. If 
I have understood correctly you can for example have a split screen with one 
window showing the 'new edition', while the others show the sources, all of 
them in sync.
I think that sounds quite promising ;-)
So while musicologists usually aren't the technologica spearhead, one can 
expect more developments to come in this area.

Best
