[MEI-L] Different <expansion> versions within <choice>?

[David Lewis]

Just to note (in support of this proposal) that the TEI use of expan and ex is pretty close to this, including expan as a child of choice. 

My vote would be to use @type initially as discussed until the categories settle well enough to be considered as a special new attribute with a fully-controlled vocabulary.

>> It would be useful to have a standardized method of identifying what you are IDing as "expansion-full" and "expansion-minimal".  In other words, the performance sequence when taking repeats as instructed in the score and not taking repeats.  Special labeling of these two expansion cases would be useful for analytic purposes such as determining the duration of Beethoven sonatas when taking written repeats or with no repeats.  And these special cases should not be encoded only in the structure of the expansion IDs.  That is the main purpose of the expansion at type in the Humdrum conversions, where the default expansion indicates the performance sequence taking repeats as written, and "norep" is the minimal performance sequence (with "norep" meaning "no repeats").  The norep expansion is particularly useful for doing computational analysis of the score, since the repeated material is usually not needed.
