meter signature in music examples #30

Open pfefferniels opened 2 years ago

pfefferniels commented 2 years ago

Most of the music example don't have an explicit meter signature in the original print. How should we deal with that? At the moment, only meter.unit is defined in the scoreDef. However I noted that automatic post-processing of the encodings (in this case with MEILER) becomes somewhat of an issue without meter.count present. I'd like to suggest to encode a full meterSig element with form='invis'. Any opinions (@rettinghaus)?

We needed meter.count for correct tstamps in Verovio. Using meterSig will bring the examples more inline with the full pieces, that's what I like about it. We could even use @corresp on the elements in scoreDef to bind the pieces and examples together. However, to make it work properly with MEILER we need to make sure @metcon="false" is correctly set when appropriate.
