<p class="MsoNormal">No wonder I couldn't find it. This "sampleCollection" directory seems to have nothing to do with the "Sample Encodings"<br>
available under the Documentation tab, i.e., <a href="http://music-encoding.org/documentation/samples">
http://music-encoding.org/documentation/samples</a>. And if there's a way to get to sampleCollection/encodings from music-encoding.org, it's not exactly obvious -- unless I'm overlooking the obvious :-) . Can someone clarify this, preferably including clarifying
the website?<br>

> I'm concerned about issue #3 below. In much idiomatic piano music from Chopin and Schumann on, if not earlier, I don't think it makes sense to try to complete voices by encoding anything to fill the space between notes (or explicit rests). Voices disappear
and reappear anywhere, sometimes several times in one measure! We humans deduce the timing by finding notes in other voices the offending notes align with. That's just the "sameas" idea.<br>

(Okay, it's just isolated second stems on notes, so arguably not a "real" voice, but that doesn't help!) Filling in that voice would make the encoding pretty messy, and I'd say would make it harder -- not easier -- to see what's really going on.<br>

<a href="http://music-encoding.org/documentation">http://music-encoding.org/documentation</a>, either in Sample Encodings or via MEI Search, so I can't easily see if my objection applies to it. Where is "the cross-staff beam sample encoding??<br>
