Remarks

This element is modelled on the teiCorpus element in the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) standard. The MEI instances making up the corpus may be related in a number of ways, for example, by composer, by similar instrumentation, by holding institution, etc. This element's name should not be changed in order to assure an absolute minimum level of MEI compliance.
