<div class="PlainText">Dear List,<br>
<br>
Perry Roland has kindly worked on a new version of the MEI Neumes Module schema.<br>
This was based on my suggestions, which were based on the discussions at the last MEI Neumes Interest Group (19 November 2016, Tübingen) and at various Cantus Ultimus meetings.
<br>
<br>
I hope this will be a staring point for fruitful discussions on this list and at the upcoming Neumes Interest Group meeting in Tours on Friday 19 May.<br>
<br>
Attached are an ODD file with Perry’s comments at the bottom; an RNG file; and a test MEI file. All provided by Perry.<br>
Below is what I provided to Perry.<br>
<br>
