Remarks

<part> elements are not used in MEI to indicate voice leading. @next attributes on event elements should be used for this purpose. <part> elements are useful for encoding individual parts when there is no score, such as early music part books, when the music has non-aligning bar lines, when different layout, such as page turns, are needed for the score and parts, or for accommodating software that requires part-by-part encoding. When assembly of the parts into a score is desired and there are non-aligning bar lines, bar lines which indicate points of alignment across all the parts may be marked as 'controlling', while non-aligning ones may be marked as 'non-controlling'.
