a
note.

<fermata>An indication placed over a note or rest to indicate that it should be held longer
than
its written value. May also occur over a bar line to indicate the end of a phrase
or section.
Sometimes called a 'hold' or 'pause'.
<gliss>A continuous or sliding movement from one pitch to another, usually
indicated by a straight or wavy line.
<hairpin>Indicates continuous dynamics expressed on the score as wedge-shaped graphics, e.g., <
and >.
<slur>Indication of 1) a "unified melodic idea" or 2) performance technique.
<tie>An indication that two notes of the same pitch form a single note with their combined
rhythmic values.
<tuplet>A group of notes with "irregular" (sometimes called "irrational") rhythmic values,
for
example, three notes in the time normally occupied by two or nine in the time of five.
<tupletSpan>Alternative element for encoding tuplets, especially useful for tuplets
that extend across bar lines.
<mordent>An ornament indicating rapid alternation of the main note with a secondary note, usually
a
step below, but sometimes a step above.

above).

<stageDir>Contains any kind of stage direction within a dramatic text or
fragment.
<cpMark>A verbal or graphical indication to copy musical material
written elsewhere.

<fingGrp>A group of individual fingers in a fingering indication.
<annot>Provides a statement explaining the text or indicating the basis for an
assertion.
<attacca>An instruction to begin the next section or movement of a composition without
pause.
<dir>An instruction expressed as a combination of text and symbols, typically above,

more specific

<dynam>Indication of the volume of a note, phrase, or section of music.
<grpSym>A brace or bracket used to group two or more staves of a score or
part.

<repeatMark>
An instruction expressed as a combination of text and symbols – segno and coda – typically
above,
below, or between staves, but not on the staff.
<tempo>Text and symbols descriptive of tempo, mood, or style, e.g., "allarg.", "a tempo",
"cantabile", "Moderato", "♩=60", "Moderato ♩ =60").
