[MEI-L] Linking <instrVoice> to <staff>

Hi there,

We're working on encoding some lute tablature and, as well as some
lute-specific things we need to deal with, we've actually got stuck
with a more general question of how to associate instruments with
staffs.

If we have some <instrVoice>s in an <instrumentation> (in <perfMedium>
in a <workDesc> in the header), how can I indicate that a particular
<staff> is the line played by one of those <instrVoice>s? I know I can
add a @label attribute, but I'd prefer to have something that's
actually an IDREF.

For now, we're looking at putting an @instrID attribute on the <staff>
itself. Any thoughts?

Richard
