[MEI-L] Tools for encoding in MEI

[Richard Freedman]

In our experience the most useful approach is to create a 'minimal example'
that contains all of the editorial features you want to use. This becomes
the 'test' file for your post-processes, and also becomes the 'model' file
for your editors.  Our routines are designed around the needs of
Renaissance music.  Yours might need to be different (but can make use of
the same concepts, such as color highlights or alternative staves, or
special articulations, etc, that are in turn transformed during the
processing stage to the final MEI encoding you prefer).
