att.augmentDots

att.bTrem.log

<bTrem>A rapid alternation on a single pitch or chord.

att.fTrem.log

<fTrem>A rapid alternation between a pair of notes (or chords or perhaps between a note and a chord) that are (usually) farther apart than a major second.

att.chord.log

<chord>A simultaneous sounding of two or more notes in the same layer *with the same duration*.

att.note.log

<note>A single pitched event.

att.rest.log

<rest>A non-sounding event found in the source being transcribed.

att.space.log

<space>A placeholder used to fill an incomplete measure, layer, etc. most often so that the combined duration of the events equals the number of beats in the measure.

att.tabDurSym.log

<tabDurSym>A visual indication of the duration of a <tabGrp>.

att.tabGrp.log

<tabGrp>A group of simultaneous tab notes, comparable to a <chord> in CMN. Rarely, may also contain rests, as in some "German" lute tablatures.

MEI.cmnCommon Music Notation (CMN) repertoire component declarations.

<bTrem>A rapid alternation on a single pitch or chord.

<fTrem>A rapid alternation between a pair of notes (or chords or perhaps between a note and a chord) that are (usually) farther apart than a major second.

MEI.sharedComponent declarations that are shared between two or more modules.

<chord>A simultaneous sounding of two or more notes in the same layer *with the same duration*.

<note>A single pitched event.

<rest>A non-sounding event found in the source being transcribed.

<space>A placeholder used to fill an incomplete measure, layer, etc. most often so that the combined duration of the events equals the number of beats in the measure.

MEI.stringtabTablature component declarations.

<tabDurSym>A visual indication of the duration of a <tabGrp>.

<tabGrp>A group of simultaneous tab notes, comparable to a <chord> in CMN. Rarely, may also contain rests, as in some "German" lute tablatures.

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.
