But this might break ID references.<br><br>2) Split this in two <app>s, like so:<br> <measure n="1"><br> <app><br> <rdg><br> <staff n="1"><br> <!-- Some music --><br> </staff><br> </rdg><br> <rdg><br> <staff n="1"><br> <!-- Some variant of the music --><br> </staff><br> </rdg><br> </app><br> <staff n="2"/><br> <staff n="3"/><br> <staff n="4"/><br> <staff n="5"/><br> <staff n="6"/><br> <staff n="7"/><br> <staff n="8"/><br> <staff n="9"/><br> <staff n="10"/><br> </measure><br> <measure n="2"><br> <app><br> <rdg><br> <staff n="1"><br> <!-- Some more music --><br> </staff><br> </rdg><br> <rdg><br> <staff n="1"><br> <!-- Continued variant of the music --><br> </staff><br> </rdg><br> </app><br> <staff n="2"/><br> <staff n="3"/><br> <staff n="4"/><br> <staff n="5"/><br> <staff n="6"/><br> <staff n="7"/><br> <staff n="8"/><br> <staff n="9"/><br> <staff n="10"/><br> </measure><br>This looks preferable to me, especially because it allows<br>"overlapping" variants, e.g. when there is another phrase with variant<br>readings, but this time for the basses from measure 2 to 3.<br>Unfortunately, I don't see a really good way to indicate that any two<br>or more <app> elements form a logical unit. I think that the<br>att.common.anl family of attributes might be useful for this,<br>especially the @prev and @next attributes because they imply the<br>concept of a "collection".
