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

[Richard Freedman]

Friends,

Final outcome of my little quest.  I went back and edited our original
Sibelius files again, now with three whole notes in place of a breve rests
for 3/1 bars.  These electronic editions are just for the MEI in any case
(in the PDF graphical editions we still use the breve rests).  But for use
with our CRIM Intervals (music21) analysis system, all is well.

The 3/1 measure tag with rests looks like this:

Thanks to all who responded!
