(MEI.critapp) Groups elements that contain a critical apparatus entry.
<beam>A container for a series of explicitly beamed events that begins and ends entirely
within
a measure.
<chord>A simultaneous sounding of two or more notes in the same layer *with the same
duration*.
<ending>Alternative ending for a repeated passage of music; i.e., prima volta, seconda volta,
etc.
<graceGrp>A container for a sequence of grace notes.
<layer>An independent stream of events on a staff.
<lem>Contains the lemma, or base text, of a textual variation.
<ligature>A mensural notation symbol that combines two or more notes into a single sign.
<measure>Unit of musical time consisting of a fixed number of note values of a given type,
as
determined by the prevailing meter, and delimited in musical notation by bar lines.
<nc>Sign representing a single pitched event, although the exact pitch may not be
known.
<ncGrp>Collection of one or more neume components.
<neume>Sign representing one or more musical pitches.
<sp>Contains an individual speech in a performance text.
<staff>A group of equidistant horizontal lines on which notes are placed in order to represent
pitch or a grouping element for individual 'strands' of notes, rests, etc. that may
or may not
actually be rendered on staff lines; that is, both diastematic and non-diastematic
signs.
<syllable>Neume notation can be thought of as "neumed text". Therefore, the syllable element
provides high-level organization in this repertoire.
<tabGrp>A group of simultaneous tab notes, comparable to a <chord> in CMN. Rarely, may also contain rests, as in some "German" lute tablatures.
<tuplet>A group of notes with "irregular" (sometimes called "irrational") rhythmic values,
for
example, three notes in the time normally occupied by two or nine in the time of five.
<verse>Division of a poem or song lyrics, sometimes having a fixed length, meter or rhyme
scheme;
a stanza.
<volta>Sung text for a specific iteration of a repeated section of music.

<graceGrp>A container for a sequence of grace notes.
