<div dir="ltr">It seems to me that what you are trying to achieve can easily be done with the page-based customisation we use in Verovio.

The idea is also to provide x / y and height / width information directly in there and without referring to a facsimile tree. Where to go with this is open to discussion.</div><div><br></div><div>Laurent</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Aug 8, 2017 at 7:26 PM, Andrew Hankinson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:andrew.hankinson@mail.mcgill.ca" target="_blank">andrew.hankinson@mail.mcgill.<wbr>ca</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I think <sb @facs="#somezoneid" /> is probably the best way to do this; It's slightly counter-intuitive since <sb /> is a milestone element, but nevertheless it allows you to encode the physical dimensions of a system and attach a zone to it.<br>

>>> MEI doesn't currently encode the width of the staff lines, but it does allow one to specify the color of individual staff lines. For staff lines that are logically but not visually present, you can set the color to white (presuming the background of the page is also white). I'm not sure what you mean by "half-filled" staff lines. Can you provide an example?<br>
