Remarks

The dots attribute records the number of augmentation dots necessary to represent a non-power-of-two duration. This is usually, but not always, the number of dots displayed. For example, a note with this attribute will result in displayed dots, while a glissando will not.

Constraints

An element with a dots attribute must also have a dur attribute.
