[MEI-L] Question about mRest, dur and dots in MEI 3 and 4

[Richard Freedman]

Friends,

I am wondering whether someone can help me with confusion about the
encoding of mRests.

Our MEI 3.0 files have certain bars with mRest under a time signature of
3/1.

The dur of these mRests is recorded as breve in MEI 3.0.  We need, however,
to add dots="1" to these for subsequent processing with music21.  This
works.

However, when I convert these files to MEI 4.0. I also see a dur of "breve
1", and the dots="1" are gone.

What is the meaning of "breve 1" here?  I cannot seem to find the
documentation of this attribute value.

Thanks!

Richard
