5 years ago This is a good point. If I understand @sameas correctly it does the same as @copyof but is not rendered - like a "gestural copyof". Are the children of a referred element included? I mean, in case of a @copyof meico makes deep copies of the element, is this the same with @sameas?

5 years ago Yes, that's the way one could describe it. Children are included such as an <accid> within a <note>. The attributes of the element and child elements should be copied, e.g. the moment when the part is extracted (oboe 2 in the above example) or converted to another format such as MIDI.
We were advised to use @sameas instead of @copyof; it makes sense und works well when rendering the score. So far, we use it mostly with <rest> (<mRest>), <note>, and <layer> in case of a unison (when layer 2 is the same as layer 1), occasionally with <clef>, not with <beam>.

5 years ago Done. See meico release v0.6.10. Thanks for your comment. It works with your sample code and hopefully also with all your other files. Please let me know if it still behaves wrong.
For the encoding of orchestral scores, we make extensive use of
In the example shown, the quarter rest in m. 11 of the oboes is fully encoded in layer 1 (= oboe 1) but with
@sameasfor rests and notes shared by two instruments (encoded in two layers) on the same staff. Otherwise, full encoding in all layers would result in unwanted double rendering of elements.@sameasin layer 2 (= oboe 2), i.e.@duris found in layer 1 only; the rest in layer 2 has to take the duration from the rest it is pointing at. MEICO currently ignores the rest in layer 2 with the effect that oboe 2 starts on the first beat of the measure instead of the second (echoed by oboe 1 on beat 2). This can be observed throughout mm. 11-14 in the oboes as well as in m. 18 in the horns (eighth rest). Here is the data:The full piece is available at https://dme.mozarteum.at/movi/navigator/165/001/01 Support for
@sameas, especially for rests, is highly desirable. Otherwise orchestral scores cannot be played with accuracy in MEICO.
