unit (e.g. hexameter) or an encoded representation for the
metrical pattern (e.g. +--+-+-+-+-). In either case, the
notation used should be documented by a metDecl element
within the encodingDesc of the associated header.

By default, the
rhyme scheme is expressed as a string of alphabetic
characters each corresponding with a rhyming line. Any non-rhyming
lines should be represented by a hyphen or an X. Alternative notations
may be defined as for met by use of the metDecl
element in the TEI header.
