[MEI-L] Howto transform 2010-05 to MEI2012_v2.0.0

[Andrew Hankinson]

Hi Peter,

I'll answer inline, since we've dealt with this a bit before. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but this should give you a rough start.

> * accessdesc

This becomes <accessRestrict />

> * altmeiid

This becomes <meiId />

> * blockquote

This just becomes <quote />

> * clefchange

This can just be converted directly to <clef />

> * exhibithist

For some strange reason this was converted to <exhibHist />. (Not sure why two characters got lopped off here -- maybe we were running out of our limit of 256KB of RAM? ;)

> * extptr
> * extref

These can be directly converted to <ptr /> and <ref />, since we now use anyURI.

> * fingerprint

This was removed. Not sure if it was ever used by anyone.

> * keychange

I *think*, like clefChange, that you can just directly convert this to <key />

> * keywords

I could find a reference that on 2011 Perry changed this to *something* but I can't tell what. 

http://code.google.com/p/music-encoding/source/search?q=keywords&origq=keywords&btnG=Search+Trunk (in-browser search for "keywords")

<change who="#PR" when="2011-01-13">Renamed <keywords> 'termList' and added @classcode</change>

> * pgfoot1
> * pghead1

I think these have just been renamed pgFoot and pgHead. The pgFoot2 and pgHead2 ones still exist too.

> * profiledesc 

This becomes <workDesc> with an embedded <work> element, in which all the children of <profiledesc /> are copied;

> * treatmenthist

This becomes <treatHist />

> * treatmentsched

This becomes <treatSched />

> * @complete

I found this changelog message that may help you here:

<change who="#PR" when="2011-06-30">Reworked how metrical conformance is handled: removed @complete, added att.meterconformance and att.meterconformance.bar attribute classes in order to provide different levels of granularity at the measure, staff, and layer levels</change>

> * @entityref
> * @href

Not sure about these two, but I think their fates are closely linked...

> * @label.full

This just becomes @label

> * @mediacontent

This becomes @avref

> * @medialength

I think you can just replace this with @end on <avFile />.

> If anyone can contribute a mapping for one of those, I'd be happy for any pull-request or notification on- or off-list.

Hope this helps!

PS: I'll put my Subversion admin hat on here and thank everyone who put in descriptive commit messages. It makes a request like this so much easier.

I'm somewhat reluctant to let them enter the wild without any further review. And adding comments on how they might fail with other files probably requires just the same amount of work than fixing these errors…

Right now, they more or less cover the subset of MEI used in the sample collection, but they also do some other cleanup, which might not be appropriate in all cases. In order to see what's possible, it would be great to know what your encodings contain. Could you send them to Maja, Kristina or me?
