This template serves as an alternative to the template BSBview. It creates only a link to an item of the digital library available at https://www.digitale-sammlungen.de/en (Munich Digitization Center). This is useful for a reference to a digitized item that itself is not a score, but another type, e.g. catalogue, periodical. It uses the current web viewer (as of September 2025) with page and search text parameters, e.g. https://www.digitale-sammlungen.de/en/view/bsb11516712?page=86,87&q=Glass.
The parameters are:
id (Required): The id of the digitized item. In the URL, this is the part after https://www.digitale-sammlungen.de/en/view/ and before the question mark ?.
page (Optional): The number of the page to show. In the URL, this is the part after page= and before &. It can be provided either as single page number like 86 (a single page is shown in the viewer) or like two subsequent page numbers separated by a comma like 86,87 (two pages are shown in the viewer). Note: In most cases, the page number in the URL is not the same as the real page number of the digitized items shown in the viewer.
query (Optional): The search text that is highlighted in the viewer. This is especially useful in catalogues or periodicals that are text-intense, as it would be otherwise difficult to find the correct spot in the text. Multiple words have to be concatenated with a +, e.g Lumbye+Flickornas. As in many searches, phrase search with " and the wildcards *, ? can be used.
