[MEI-L] Conventional encoding of suggested accidentals (ficta)?

[Craig Sapp]

Hi Everyone,

Thanks Johannes, I added editorial accidental translations to my Humdrum to
MEI converter.  For example this piece has 118 editorial accidentals:

http://jrp.ccarh.org/cgi-bin/jrp?a=notationwithficta&f=Jos2107-O_admirabile_commercium

The MEI data now has the editorial accidentals marked:

http://jrp.ccarh.org/cgi-bin/jrp?a=mei&f=Jos2107-O_admirabile_commercium

Such as measure 10 in the second part:

            <staff n="2">
              <layer n="1">
                <note xml:id="n_sc_54_2" pname="f" oct="4" dur="2" tie="t"/>
                <note xml:id="n_sc_55_2" pname="e" oct="4" dur="4">
                  <accid accid="f" func="edit"/>
                </note>
                <note xml:id="n_sc_56_2" pname="d" oct="4" dur="4"/>
                <note xml:id="n_sc_57_2" pname="e" oct="4" dur="2">
                  <accid accid="f" func="edit"/>
                </note>
                <note xml:id="n_sc_58_2" pname="d" oct="4" dur="2"/>
              </layer>
            </staff>


I didn't use @place="above" as that is pretty much the default for
editorial accidentals and I'll leave it up to any renderer to decide
otherwise.

Here is the original data before conversion to MEI:

http://jrp.ccarh.org/cgi-bin/jrp?a=humdrum&f=Jos2107-O_admirabile_commercium

which has the the above musical extract being originally written in Humdrum
as:

2f\]
4e-i\
4d\
2e-i\
2d\

where "i" is a user-signifier which is defined later on in the file with
the line:

!!!RDF**kern: i=editorial accidental
