<p>No apology necessary. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>But I should check the schema and guidelines before I go off half-cocked. <abbr> does allow musical constructs, just not <syllable>. Don't you hate it when a perfectlly good statement is ruined by the facts? :-)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway, it looks like we have some work to do on <abbr> and <expan>. MEI 2014, anyone?</p>

<div>Not sure whether this would be the same kind of elision, really, but I see enough similarities.

<div><br>
</div>
<div>That sounds like a good case for <abbr> to me. If you wanted, you could then encode the full passage with <expan>.</div>

Dear MEI family,<br>
<br>
for Corpus monodicum, we need to encode situations where a scribe<br>
notates only the beginning and sometimes also the end of a chant<br>
section. Those are kind of cues and the scribe assumes the singer<br>
knows how to continue. It's really similar to when only the first<br>
words of a refrain are printed between verses.<br>
<br>
I think <gap> is the appropriate thing to use, like:<br>
<br>
<syllable><br>
<syl>Sex</syl><br>
</syllable><br>
<syllable><br>
<syl>bomb</syl><br>
</syllable><br>
<br>
<gap reason="cue"/><br>
<br>
<!-- Sometimes we also have this following the gap: --><br>
<syllable><br>
<syl>turn</syl><br>
</syllable><br>
<syllable><br>
<syl>me</syl><br>
</syllable><br>
<syllable><br>
<syl>on.</syl><br>
</syllable><br>
<br>
(Yes, Corpus monodicum also transcribes a few love songs.)<br>
<br>
Any objections to this structure? For some reason I don't feel 100%<br>
confident that this is what the <gap> element was made for.<br>
<br>
Thomas<br>
