May Contain
(MEI.shared) Groups elements used to represent generic structural divisions of music notation.
<mdiv>Contains a subdivision of the body of a musical text.
(MEI.shared) Groups elements that collect separate performer parts.
<parts>Provides a container for performers' parts.
(MEI.shared) Groups elements that represent a score.
<score>Full score view of the musical content.
<mdiv>Contains a subdivision of the body of a musical text.
<parts>Provides a container for performers' parts.
<score>Full score view of the musical content.
Remarks

The <mdiv> element may contain one or both of 2 possible views of the music. The score view is the traditional full and open score while the parts view contains each performer’s view of the score; that is, his part. These 2 views are necessary because it is not always possible or desirable to generate one from the other. The <score> and <parts> elements are placed here and not directly within the <body> element because score and part characteristics may change from <mdiv> to <mdiv>. For example, the 2nd movement of a symphony may require different performing forces (and therefore different score and part layout) than the other movements. The <mdiv> element may be recursively nested in order to represent music which exhibits this kind of structure. For example, an opera is normally divided into acts, which are in turn divided into scenes.
