[MEI-L] repeat start and stop

[Christine Siegert]

Dear List,
in my opinion, Johannes and Maja are right. The repetition should be incoded 
as being part of bar 5, simply because it is part of bar 5. The other 
encoding would represent only the place, but not the meaning of the sign.
Best wishes,
Christine
