`<l>` | (verse line) contains a single, possibly incomplete, line of verse.
Attributes | (In addition to global attributes and those inherited from chunk, enjamb, metrical)
`part` | specifies whether or not the line is metrically complete.
| Datatype: (Y | N | I | M | F)
| Legal values are:
Y | the line is metrically incomplete
N | either the line is complete, or no claim is made as to its completeness
I | the initial part of an incomplete line
M | a medial part of an incomplete line
F | the final part of an incomplete line
| Default: N
Note | The values I, M, or F should be used only where it is clear how the line is to be reconstituted.
