[tei-council] <notatedMusic> changes required

[Gabriel Bodard]

(I'm not sure how this matters, but some ptrs presumably point to 
internal elements or anchors in the same file?)

I only suggested type=externalObject because that was the name last 
being mooted for the new element (generalization of tei:graphic?), not 
because I thought it was semantically useful in the case of the ptr used 
here. Something to remind us that we're coming up with semantic sugar 
for this soon...
