[mei-neumes-ig] A draft for the new Neumes Module schema

[Ichiro Fujinaga, Prof.]

Dear List,

Perry Roland has kindly worked on a new version of the MEI Neumes Module schema.
This was based on my suggestions, which were based on the discussions at the last MEI Neumes Interest Group (19 November 2016, Tübingen) and at various Cantus Ultimus meetings.

I hope this will be a staring point for fruitful discussions on this list and at the upcoming Neumes Interest Group meeting in Tours on Friday 19 May.

Attached are an ODD file with Perry’s comments at the bottom; an RNG file; and a test MEI file. All provided by Perry.
Below is what I provided to Perry.

================================

A <neume> element consists of one or more <neumeComponent> element(s).

A <neumeComponent> is a single pitched event, although the exact pitch may not be known.

Attributes for <neume>
@direction (relative to the previous <neume>) {N|S|L|H|SH|SL}
   N: neutral or unknown
   H: higher
   L: lower
   S: same
   SH: same or higher (but not lower)
   SL: same or lower (but not higher)
@significative letters
@hispanicLoop (not sure about this)

Attributes for <neumeComponent>
@direction: pitch relative to the previous pitch (<neumeComponent>) within the same <neume> {N|S|L|H|SH|SL}
   N: neutral or unknown
   H: higher
   L: lower
   S: same or unison
   SH: same or higher (but not lower)
   SL: same or lower (but not higher)
@wavy
@curved (anticlockwise, clockwise)
@angled
@episma
@flat
@jagged
@liquescence
@extended
@diagonal right (up or down)
@quilisma (2 or 3 curves)

@oriscus (curved, flat, jagged)
@connection (gapped, looped) (to the previous neumeComponent within the same <neume>)

================================
