<accid>Records a temporary alteration to the pitch of a note.
<ambNote>Highest or lowest pitch in a score, staff, or layer.

<attacca>An instruction to begin the next section or movement of a composition without pause.
<barLine>Vertical line drawn through one or more staves that divides musical notation into metrical units.

<bend>A variation in pitch (often micro-tonal) upwards or downwards during the course of a note.
<bracketSpan>Marks a sequence of notational events grouped by a bracket.
<breath>An indication of a point at which the performer on an instrument requiring breath (including the voice) may breathe.

<chord>A simultaneous sounding of two or more notes in the same layer *with the same duration*.
<clef>Indication of the exact location of a particular note on the staff and, therefore, the other notes as well.
