[MEI-L] Sample encoding of mensural notation

[Daniel Alles]

Hi Martha and all the others,

thank you very much for your replies, they helped me very much in  
understanding the encoding of MN. Especially Martha's hint to the  
Verovio-website was very useful (although I don't understand  
completely "coloration including augmentation/imperfectino", but  
that's Ok for the moment). A thing that confuses me a lot is the  
displaying of the Verovio-MEI-viewer: I have the impression, that it  
doesn't align the corect "beats" vertically; I already recognized this  
when rendering my attempt. Is that right? How can I fix that?

Best regard,
Daniel
