[mei-neumes-ig] Question #2

If the components are part of a compound neume that is considered as "one
thing", then I don't want to have the components appear when a search is
performed for a neume on its own, not in the compound.

For example, if I search for the sign 'pes', I would like to see only those
signs which are considered 'pes' without being part of a compound neume.
But I would also like to search for 'pes subipunctis', in which the 'pes'
is a part. I might even like to search for only pes signs that are part of
the larger 'pes subipunctis.'

Hope that's clearer.
