[MEI-L] Encoding staff lines

[Andrew Hankinson]

I think <sb @facs="#somezoneid" /> is probably the best way to do this; It's slightly counter-intuitive since <sb /> is a milestone element, but nevertheless it allows you to encode the physical dimensions of a system and attach a zone to it.

For staff lines that are logically but not visually present, you can set the color to white (presuming the background of the page is also white).  I'm not sure what you mean by "half-filled" staff lines.  Can you provide an example?
