Re: Co-chair meeting minutes: April 10, 2025 [via Music Notation Community Group]

I think these changes are terrific. Thank you for taking the time to
consider and decide about them.

I notice that all the changes have been applied to the schema except the
optional `type` value for events. Will that be coming soon? I am nearing a
release, and I was waiting for these changes. If the optional type will be
coming soon, I'll wait for it.

Thanks again,
Robert
