Make layer cue-able

[rettinghaus]

Usually in parts a whole layer gives the cue, so it seems to make sense to make layer part of att.cue.

(Example taken from Behind Bars, p 572)

[craigsapp]

This is a useful feature to have. The example music demonstrates that most cues in orchestral parts are encoded in layers, with a regular-sized full-measure rests in another layer to reinforce that the cue notes are not to be played by the performer.

[kepper]

This sounds perfectly reasonable, and I'm not requesting a change to the one line added here. But. There should be some documentation about this, like we just discussed at the ODD Friday. It needs to be checked how much actual documentation we have in the Guidelines about cue'd things…

2022-01-28 ODD meeting: @rettinghaus if you could please be so kind as to add some documentation to the guidelines. Apparently there isn't anything about @cue so far, some general example might be a first start, even when limiting it to layer-cueing.

[rettinghaus]

Added a section about cue notes in the Guidelines.

[ahankinson]

Probably should have one more reviewer before merging. Since @craigsapp reviewed it there have been some changes.

[musicEnfanthen]

Would it be helpful to include an example of the proposed linking mechanism for cued layers with corresp in chapter 10.1.1 of the guidelines and link there from the description here?

[bwbohl]

only a minor comment

many thanks @rettinghaus

[bwbohl]

@kepper could you revise your review please

[musicEnfanthen]

Would it be possible to include another encoding example here for this linking mechanism with corresp. This would be very helpful for users consulting this passage.

[rettinghaus]

As you suggested this should probably go into chapter 13 where nothing can be found about @correspat all. Opened #915.

[musicEnfanthen]

@corresp itself and all other attributes of att.linking are momentarily explained in chapter 10 (Analytical markup). If that's a good place for them, we should discuss over there in #915, right.

For the passage here, I am not asking to explain corresp in general (what would be too much out of scope of this PR), just to add a minimal encoding example how you would target the "sounding counterpart" from the cued layer. (My initial thought was to link to the corresp section from here, but since there is nothing really helpful for the use case here, it seems easier for now to include a small example here which exemplifies that usage of cued layers.) What do you think?

[craigsapp]

Here is another example that could use this feature that I have come across:

From Stravinsky: Perséphone (Melodrama in Three Scenes for Solo Tenor, Choir and Orchestra)

The second staff (violin 1) has two layers, with the first one being cue-sized showing the sounding pitches (also in square brackets). The performance fingerings are in the second layer.
