<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:65.2pt">isn’t particularly onerous since it’s relatively easy to automate. I’m also not particularly troubled by a list containing a single item. To me, it’s still a list.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:65.2pt"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:65.2pt"><instrumentation> doesn’t necessarily become obsolete as it can still be used to separate information about non-dramatic performing forces from dramatic ones –

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:65.2pt">But, you’re right, we could do without <instrumentation>. Here’s where we can eliminate a level of nesting. That’s a good thing, right? “Instrumentation” isn’t a particular good name for the enumeration of
performance resources anyway.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:65.2pt"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:65.2pt">My example 4 was just a demonstration of a markup possibility. The next example, no. 5, does not attempt to group the soloists. Even so, soloists are still part of the larger group – orchestra + chorus + soloists
– that is expected to perform the work, are they not?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:65.2pt"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:65.2pt">I guess that if you’re not excited about those changes, then you really won’t like the following suggestion –<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:65.2pt"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:65.2pt">I’d like to eliminate <ensemble> and fold its functionality into <instrVoice>, *<b>BUT</b>* rename <instrVoice> to <perfRes> (performance resource). At the same time, <instrVoiceGrp> should be renamed <perfResList>.
This will eliminate the cognitive dissonance created between “Grp” and “ensemble” and “instrVoice”. In this new paradigm, an instrumentalist, a singer, and an ensemble are all “performance resources” and a bunch of these resources can be gathered into a “performance
resource list”. In addition to increased clarity, this change also better fits existing models of performing forces description (e.g., MARC).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:65.2pt"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:65.2pt">As a compromise, I’m happy to leave most of the model of <instrumentation> in place, but remove <ensemble> and also remove PCDATA from <instrVoiceGrp>. I could even see retaining a single <instrVoice> to accommodate
your minimal nesting objection – <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:65.2pt"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:130.4pt">I think you’ve got it. Another layer of nesting using an outer <instrVoiceGrp> isn’t necessary. I would recommend that you use <head> within all the <instrVoiceGrp> elements, not just the one for the Choir.
You could also group the soloists, but it’s not required, I’m just being foolishly consistent.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:130.4pt">Looking more carefully, I now think the current model for <instrumentation> can’t really be improved, since all my so-called “improvements” result in not being able to handle works for a standard ensemble (e.g.,

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:130.4pt">My original thinking on this was that a very loosely structured model would be helpful if <instrumentation> were ever allowed to occur with the textual parts of MEI, say in <p>. However, I believe that it is
unlikely that <ensemble> will ever occur in the presence of the other two possibilities. Therefore, unless someone can prove my hunch to be incorrect, I’m inclined to allow only one sub-element to be used at a time –

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:130.4pt">Using this approach, one can use <ensemble> to encode the name of a performing group, like “orchestra” or use <instrVoiceGrp> to enumerate the parts/players of the group, but not both.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:130.4pt">However, this change re-focuses attention on the relationship between <ensemble> and <instrVoice> – possibly a distinction without a difference, as the expected content of both is text and both provide the same
attributes (att.authorized and att.coded) for connecting the textual content to an authorized list. With this in mind, it might be beneficial to modify the content model even further – <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:130.4pt">eliminating <ensemble> entirely. The problem with this solution is that some confusion may be created as “instrVoice” doesn’t immediately spring to mind as a way to name an ensemble. Conversely, the “Grp” part
of the name “instrVoiceGrp” may lead the unwary into thinking that it can be used to *<b>label</b>* an ensemble, when in fact it should be used to *<b>describe</b>* an ensemble.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:130.4pt">So, I’m looking for advice on how to resolve this quandary – a model that’s too lax vs. a model that’s more tightly controlled but with elements that are not completely descriptive of the material we’re trying
to encode. At this point, I’m leaning toward the most restrictive model.<o:p></o:p></p>
