Dear Group,

Good news!
We can now encode “division” (a.k.a. “divisio” and “divisione”) in MEI.
Although we decided in our IG meeting last May to use the term “division” (see below), for various reasons, the element name in MEI is <divLine>.
For those interested in the discussion see: https://github.com/music-encoding/music-encoding/pull/618

The possible attribute values for this element are @form= {“caesura” | “finalis” | “maior” | “maxima” | “minima” | “virgula"}

Thank you for your patience.

Ichiro
