Hi Johannes,

Here are descriptions of the Humdrum bibliographic records:

I also added a "meaning" attribute to the Humdrum bibliographic record comments
which should help in figuring out what they represent. For example:
   http://kern.ccarh.org/cgi-bin/ksdata?l=371chorales&file=chor001.krn&f=mei

    <!-- Humdrum Bibliographic Records:
