Encoding Song Lyrics #35

Closed noorka closed 7 years ago

How would you like song lyrics to be encoded? I think they are more similar to poetry than prose, so a line group then line might make the most sense. Though I am not sure if you want new encoding that is geared towards performance texts as outlined in the TEI. Most of these guidelines are more geared towards encoding the transcriptions of an actual performance rather than material that could be performed.

For now I am encoding it as it it were a poem.

As a poem (line group/line) sounds right to me!
