[MEI-L] Place text on staves

[Daniel Alles]

In fact, my "tacet" is also followed by notes on the next page. Until  
now I did not encode line breaks because I encoded each of the six  
parts of each Magnificat as <section>, the lines only separated  
optically using <!-- x. line -->. But thinking about reproducing the  
source - wouldn't it be better to encode all the lines at once,  
without <section>, but with line breaks?

I don't get the difference between <space> and <pad>, could please  
someone explain that a little bit?

Thank you and good night,
Daniel
