[MEI-L] pghead

[Axel Teich Geertinger]

That would be great, thanks. 
I've got another problem (minor, though): I would like to be able to provide titles for indvidual movements in different languages (Niels W. Gade, for instance, provided titles in both Danish and German for many of his works). Would it be reasonable to allow multiple <pghead1> elements with different language attributes? As it is, only one <pghead1> is allowed in each <scoredef>. I understand why, of course, but in this case it seems a bit too restrictive.

Hi, Axel,

I think what you need is <relatedItem> directly under <meihead> in order to express relationships between MEI instances.  Of course, it isn't there yet, but now that there's a use case for it, I'll add that to the feature request list.

Subject: [MEI-L] relateditem and relations between mei elements

Hi Perry (& others who might be interested)

I've been testing <relatedItem> to describe composite sources, and it seems to do the job nicely.
However, I have also been trying for some time to figure out how to model relations not just between sources (and parts of sources), but between different versions of a work - i.e. encodings which may have several sources each. How should I model the relation between, say, some incidental music, encoded in one MEI file, and some excerpt or arrangement encoded in another MEI file?
I noticed that one of the relations possible in <relatedItem> is "otherVersion". That's exactly what I was looking for, except that it needs to be on a higher level than <source> (because it relates to all the sources to this particular version). One solution could be using <extptr>; something like

    <filedesc>
      <notesstmt>
        <annot type="links">
          <extptr xl:role="isVersionOf" xl:href="..."/>
        </annot>
      </notesstmt>
    </filedesc>

Any better ideas? I am not sure <notesstmt> is the best place for this type of information.

Happy new year to all!
Axel
