Hi Axel, Joachim, everyone,<br>
<br>
Sorry for the delay in answering -- I thought I hit the send button 2 days ago, but since my answer hasn't come through, I suppose I didn't.<br>
<br>
Anticipating the need for such things, a <perfMedium> element has already been added. This element is based on the MARC 048 tag (at least I think it was 048). This element is allowed in <sourceDesc>, <work>, and <relatedItem>.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps,<br>
<br>

<div>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: 10pt; 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.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; 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. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; 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.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: black;" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: black;" lang="EN-US">Another question: why <incip>, and not <incipit>? We have quite long element names like <classification>, so why abbreviate incipit?</span></p>
