[MEI-L] Anacrusis measures

[Craig Sapp]

Hi David et al.,

I encode anacrusis measures in MEI like this:

     <measure n="0" left="invis" complete="i">
      <staff n="1">
       <layer n="1">
        <note pname="d" oct="4" dur="2"/>
       </layer>
      </staff>
     </measure>

Where measure at complete="i" means that it is not a completely full measure,
and measure at left="invis" is perhaps not necessary, but insinuates that it
is the last part of an incomplete measure.  Comments on how to do properly
or how @type="upbeat" works with this encoding or not would be good to
post.

For type="upbeat" how would that related to the second half of a measure
which is split by a repeat sign?

Is there an attribute for measures which says that the metric positions are
filled from the end of the measure rather than the front (notice that this
example has a half-note in it.  If the meter is 4/4, then that is not
strictly an "upbeat" since it would be an "uptwobeat" measure.
