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

[Micah Walter]

Thanks all for the suggestions!

I like the specificity provided by @place, and the clarification provided by @reason. While I'm fine with the loose usage of "ficta" in this case, it might be even more useful to provide a particular reason: "cadence" (raised tone at authentic cadence), "preparation" (lowered sixth degree in Phrygian lead-up to authentic cadence), "tritone" (to avoid struck dissonance), "imitation", etc.

I'd also be interested to hear reasons for preferring <supplied> over <add>, or vice versa.

So it is in general better to think of them as editorial accidentals used to chromatically inflect notes for performance, which usually happen to move the notes onto musica ficta pitches.
