[MEI-L] halfmRpt and @rend

[Roland, Perry (pdr4h)]

Hmmm, forgot about that!



If we proceed with plans to make @rend and @style available on more elements but with generic typographic meaning, existing @rend attributes will have to be replaced by some other attribute that carries element-specific renditional information, possibly @form.  For now, @altsym is the only other option.  Remember, however, that the value of @altsym must be a URI that points to a symbolDef element.



Considering the potential of SMuFL, I've been thinking a character-oriented method for indicating an exact or alternate rendition might be another way to go.  We could, like TEI, provide for defining a character in the header which is then pointed to using an attribute, similar to the way <symbolDef> and @altsym work), or we could allow text content of elements to contain Unicode character references to codepoints defined by SMuFL. Another possibility is to re-work <symbolDef> so that it can hold the Unicode reference (making it similar to TEI's <charDecl>) which is pointed to using @altsym as before.  This is going to take a while to discuss and implement, though.

I just checked on mRpt and mRpt2, both of which don't allow @rend either.
Anyhow, all of the rpt elements allow @altsym.

Considering this in combination with googlecode isuue 144 (http://code.google.com/p/music-encoding/issues/detail?id=144) "reserve @rend and @style for CSS-like renditional information", is it the right way to go, or should we stick with @altsym and maybe disallow @rend on beatRpt?

Best,
Benjamin

Pretty sure that's an oversight.  Please submit a ticket.

FWIW, having looked at the same material, I also think a @rend would be very useful there.

Hi all,

proofreading our data in Freischütz-Digital I came across repeat symbols. First case I was wondering whether to go with beatRpt but then I realized there was halmRpt, as well.
As Weber writes his repeats as double slashes (not the common %) we're in eager need of @rend to indicate this circumstance. While @rend is available on beatRpt, it isn't on halfmRpt.

Is there any reason for that, am I missing something?

Best,
Benjamin
