[MEI-L] Drum notation, or...?

[Roland, Perry (pdr4h)]

Craig is correct -- the ideal way to get the solfa is to generate it.  BUT, <note> is a member of att.solfa, which provides @psolfa for capturing solfa along with (or instead of) pitch name.

Hi Raffaele,

Only because you are thinking (like a southern European) in a fixed-do
system.  The Tonic Sol-Fa method placed "do" on the tonic note, which
in this case is B-flat (or B for Germans :-).

Technically this is a parallel equivalent representation of the
graphical music notation, so it should not necessarily be represented
inside MEI (unless you want to duplicate encoding work), but rather be
generated from the musical data in MEI.  The only piece of
non-graphical information needed should be the tonic note, then the
notation can be derived from the MEI data which also generates the
graphical notation.
