The entries for hamletworks.org are based on the materials of the New Variorum Hamlet, and are divided into three types: Commentary Notes (CN), Material Textual Notes (TNM), and Immaterial Textual Notes (TNI). These entries typically refer to one line of Hamlet and are based on the numbering scheme used by The Enfolded Hamlet. Thus it uses the Through Line Numbers (TLN) of Charlton Hinman's First Folio published by Norton Press, which are numbered straight through the play including stage directions rather than line numbers starting afresh at the beginning of scenes. In addition to Through Line Numbers, the entries use "+" numbers for Q2-only lines. There are as many as three entries referring to each line of the play.
