</div>

<p>Sometimes, timestamps are used to indicate positions where no music <em>Events</em> are located (see
<a href="/guidelines/v4/content/introduction.html#eventsControlevents">Events and Controlevents</a>). Therefore, the allowed range of timestamps stretches from 0 to the current meter count + 1. By definition, a timestamp of 1 indicates the position of the left barline, while a timestamp of 5 (in case of a 4/4 meter) indicates the right barline. This makes it possible to encode open-ended slurs in a graphical way. However, it should be kept in mind that such timestamps may not be converted to <em>@startid</em> and <em>@endid</em>, and not every application may be able to render them correctly, even though they are perfectly valid MEI, and sometimes are necessary to faithfully transcribe a source.</p>
