[MEI-L] Closed/Plus encoding symbol

[Eleanor Selfridge-Field]

It's also an ornament in SOME English harpsichord/clavichord music.

Hi Andrew,

Technically it will depend on the semantics of the symbol, as a '+'
sign will most likely have different meanings for different
repertories/instruments.

For French Horns, the "+" sign is used to indicate a stopped note (or the
start of a sequence of stopped notes that would be cancelled by an "o"
above a note, meaning "open".).

In the MEI articulation list:
 
http://music-encoding.org/documentation/guidelines2013/data.ARTICULATION

I see an entry called "stop", so that is the most likely thing to start
with.

consulted the Unicode Western notation guide (from which @artic seems to
take its inspiration) and it also seems to be lacking there.
