Remarks

The model of this element is based on the teiCorpus element of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI). 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.
