My apologies! There is a team that is actively working on developing further 
the attributes of MEI in order to capture all of the information found in the 
various chant manuscripts. I have seen a draft of a table for St. Gall that is 
quite detailed, beyond what is presently available in MEI, yet incomplete. The 
team hopes to identify these attributes and include them in MEI for future 
encoding.

I have been having this conversation with Kate Helsen, who is a contributor to 
the project. She is now discussing this possible collaboration with the leaders 
of the Cantus Ultimus / SIMSSA project. I will report on her response.

Gratefully,
Adam

Sure! How are the people behind MEI reachable? Do they have a public
mailing list for these questions? That would be interesting to reach them.

Thank you,
