[MEI-L] Mei.measure. at complete

[Roland, Perry (pdr4h)]

Julian,

You know, I had a lot of trouble coming to a conclusion on this issue myself when planning the schema.  I went with 3 values, but hearing your difficulties now, I'm not sure that was the best choice.

I now think, as you do, that a boolean value is most useful for @complete on <measure>.  That would solve the immediate problem.  Would it also be useful to store one of the 3 current values on <staff> and <layer>?  If so, then it would be better to move @complete with its current values to these elements and create an attribute with a different name on <measure>.

Even if @complete isn't moved, it might be good to take the opportunity to rename @complete to make its name more descriptive of its purpose; that is, to state whether the measure "adds up" or not, but I don't have a better name than "status", maybe "cmnstatus".  Surely, someone on the list can come up with a less tortured name. :)
