<remarks>
<p part="N">The
<gi scheme="MEI">incipText</gi> element may be used to capture a text incipit, while
<gi scheme="MEI">score</gi> is available to provide an MEI-encoded musical incipit. Images
of an incipit may be referenced using the
<gi scheme="MEI">graphic</gi> element. An incipit
encoded in a text format other than MEI may be placed in the
<gi scheme="MEI">incipCode</gi>
element.</p>
