[mei-neumes-ig] Liquescent

[Micah John Walter]

Dear Ichiro and all,

Well, one thing I can think of is whether, for neumes on a staff, the notehead is visible. (Liquescent neumes without a clear notehead are, I believe, a predecessor to the plica.) If this were to be encoded, however, it could be an attribute on the <nc> rather than a liquescent element.
