[MEI-L] form & function

[Joachim Veit]

Hi all,
concerning Perry's name "musicClass", Joachim (who is at the last back 
end of your discussions at the moment) likes it very much! The great 
advantage is the possibility to define a special classCode and you may 
do this in general "standard" terms and with special "project" terms at 
the same time! Is this not the thing you intended, Johannes?
Concerning the <msDesc> which does not really include printed stuff - if 
you change that to <sourceDesc> the problem vanishes?? But the keyword 
section of <musicClass> seems to me the more fitting place for your 
intentions. So we have "only" the problem of finding adequate and 
broadly acceptable terms for "form", "function" etc.... (?)
Sneezing and coughing greetings,
Joachim
