Note
In most cases, the noteMarker element is more appropriate, except in cases where the marker is in another hand; in that case, use the g element.
Examples

<g ref="#ctlig">ct</g>
This example points to a glyph element with the identifier 
ctlig
like the following:

<glyph xml:id="ctlig"><!-- here we describe the particular ct-ligature intended --></glyph>

<g ref="#per-glyph">per</g>
The medieval brevigraph per could similarly be considered as an individual glyph, defined in a glyph element with the identifier 
per-glyph
as follows:

<glyph xml:id="per-glyph"><!-- ... --></glyph>
Schematron
Ref is usually required

      <sch:assert test="parent::tei:measureGrp">ERROR: Glyphs must have @ref unless it is within a measureGrp.</sch:assert>
   </sch:rule>
</sch:pattern>
