[MEI-L] Place text on staves

[Roland, Perry D. (pdr4h)]

Since this is mensural notation, @tstamp won't work.  Instead, use <space> as a placeholder in the 2nd staff and associate the text with the space via @startid --

<staff n="1">
  <layer>
    <!-- notes -->
  </layer>
</staff>
<staff n="2">
  <layer>
    <space xml:id="space01"/>
  </layer>
  <dir startid="#space01">... Tacet</dir>
</staff>

Hello,

I think <dir place="within"> is the most appropriate element given that the text gives an instruction. You can use @tstamp to position it based on time.

Dear all,

in my source, there often appears the playing instruction "Tacet" written directly on a staff (see attachment). How can I reproduce that in MEI? I always try to reproduce the source as accurately as possible, but couldn't find a possibility to put this text on the staff. Is that possible at all? <dir> seems not to work, as there are no notes in that staff.

Best, Daniel
