Remarks

The @n attribute should be used to record the page number displayed in the source. It need not be an integer, e.g., 'iv', or 'p17-3'. The logical page number can be calculated by counting previous <pb> ancestor elements. When used in a score context, a page beginning implies an accompanying system beginning.

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