[MEI-L] trills within beams

[Raffaele Viglianti]

Hi Kristina,

I agree with Perry. I very much prefer to deal with any element that spans
multiple events and measures at the bottom of the measure where they start.
It avoids all sorts of overlapping hierarchies. I mainly mean <slur> and
<hairpin>, but also <trill>, <tie>, <tuplet>, etc.  <beam> is perhaps my
only exception to this rule.

I typically use time stamp and/or ids (in this order or preference) to
anchor them to the relevant events or position in time. I believe this is
really efficient, especially when you're dealing with manuscript notation
and editorial intervention, as it leaves room for those elements.

Best wishes,
Raffaele
