<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Dear all,<br>
<br>
in my source, there often appears the playing instruction "Tacet" written directly on a staff (see attachment). How can I reproduce that in MEI? I always try to reproduce the source as accurately as possible, but couldn't find a possibility to put this text
on the staff. Is that possible at all? <dir> seems not to work, as there are no notes in that staff.<br>
<br>
Best, Daniel<br>
