Dear Axel and all,<br>
I heavily agree with Axel concerning the wish for an
<instrumentList> in the header which would make it much easier
for us in doing a sort of "simple cataloguing" of works: When we try
to list the instruments of an opera, for instance, we do that in the
moment (following Axel's model) in the scoreDef with staffGroup(s) -
but in an opera there are changing instrumentations in each number,
so we misuse this scoreDef as a "collective" form of listing all the
instruments ever playing somewhere in the work. This is clearly the
task of such an "instrumentList" which besides would make it easier
to use a more abridged way of catalogue-encoding in the header.<br>
Concerning incip I too would prefer to add the "it" at the end
because "it" would not make any weighing machine complain?<br>
And many thanks to you, Axel, for taking part in our discussions in
the Virtual Meeting!!!<br>
Best greetings, <br>
Joachim<br>
P.S. In a few minutes we shall make "it" - that's to say: start to
drink a bee(r)!<br>
<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black"
lang="EN-US">I have a question to the tech team: Now that we
will soon have elements like <incip>, <key> and
<castList> in the header, why not also add something
like <instrumentList>? What these metadata have in
common is that they are actually also contained in the
score, although in a more or less “hidden” way, perhaps (as
with key) requiring some analysis or interpretation.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black"
lang="EN-US">Very much like the cast list, a list of
instruments could in principle be harvested from a complete
encoded score. In our cataloguing projects, however, the
scores are not necessarily available, so we need to add that
information either as a note somewhere in the header or in a
staffDef, which does nothing but defining the instruments
involved (a solution I would be happy to get rid of). The
incipit will not do, as in many cases not all instruments
will appear in it. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black"
lang="EN-US">The same problem is true with choirs and vocal
soloists, when they do not represent a named character and
therefore will not fit into the castList.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black"

<incipit>? We have quite long element names like
<classification>, so why abbreviate incipit?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
