If it's tied to coordinates, one would want a relative system so that if the resolutions of the Beinecke scans were ever changed, it could be applied to the new scans without a lot of reworking.
Also, it should be relative to certain defined points on the folio (rather than the edges of the scan) because the scan edges might change from version to version.
...
Apart from coordinates, it should also record character size and orientation.
With this, one suddenly has access to a lot of new information, basically related to handwriting.
The challenge, of course, is making a distinction between meaningful variations and those that are simply variations of the pen or the scribe.
