Further work on pull request #245 (for issue #57) has been ongoing since last week’s meeting. A tweak to the pull request making it possible to address a specific staff in a multi-staff instrument in the proposed system-layout element by index has been proposed. Adrian welcomes any further feedback from the community on this pull request by Friday 1 October so that this can be completed ahead of the next co-chair meeting.

Next meeting

The next co-chairs’ meeting will be on Tuesday 12 October 2021.
