Attributes
stem.dir, stem.form, stem.len, stem.mod, stem.pos, stem.sameas, stem.visible, stem.with, stem.x, stem.y
stem.dir(optional)Describes the direction of a stem. Value conforms to data.STEMDIRECTION.
<att.stems>direct children@stem.dir
stem.form(optional)Records the form of the stem. Value conforms to data.STEMFORM.mensural.
<att.stems>att.stems.mensural@stem.form
stem.len(optional)Encodes the stem length. Value conforms to data.MEASUREMENTUNSIGNED.

stem.len(optional)Encodes the stem length. Value conforms to data.MEASUREMENTUNSIGNED.
stem.mod(optional)Encodes any stem "modifiers"; that is, symbols rendered on the stem, such as tremolo or Sprechstimme indicators. Value conforms to data.STEMMODIFIER.
stem.pos(optional)Records the position of the stem in relation to the note head(s). Value conforms to data.STEMPOSITION.
stem.sameas(optional)Points to a note element in a different layer whose stem is shared. The linked notes should be rendered like a chord though they are part of different layers. Value conforms to data.URI.
stem.visible(optional)Determines whether a stem should be displayed. Value conforms to data.BOOLEAN.
stem.x(optional)Records the output x coordinate of the stem’s attachment point. Value is a decimal number.
stem.y(optional)Records the output y coordinate of the stem’s attachment point. Value is a decimal number.
(MEI.cmn) Attributes that describe the properties of stemmed features; that is, chords and notes.
stem.with(optional)Contains an indication of which staff a note or chord that logically belongs to the current staff should be visually placed on; that is, the one above or the one below. Value conforms to data.NEIGHBORINGLAYER.
(MEI.mensural) Attributes that describe the properties of stemmed features specific to mensural repertoires.
stem.form(optional)Records the form of the stem. Value conforms to data.STEMFORM.mensural.
Common Music Notation (CMN) repertoire component declarations.
stem.with(optional)Contains an indication of which staff a note or chord that logically belongs to the current staff should be visually placed on; that is, the one above or the one below. Value conforms to data.NEIGHBORINGLAYER.
Mensural repertoire component declarations.
stem.form(optional)Records the form of the stem. Value conforms to data.STEMFORM.mensural.
Component declarations that are shared between two or more modules.
stem.dir(optional)Describes the direction of a stem. Value conforms to data.STEMDIRECTION.
stem.len(optional)Encodes the stem length. Value conforms to data.MEASUREMENTUNSIGNED.
stem.mod(optional)Encodes any stem "modifiers"; that is, symbols rendered on the stem, such as tremolo or Sprechstimme indicators. Value conforms to data.STEMMODIFIER.
stem.pos(optional)Records the position of the stem in relation to the note head(s). Value conforms to data.STEMPOSITION.
stem.sameas(optional)Points to a note element in a different layer whose stem is shared. The linked notes should be rendered like a chord though they are part of different layers. Value conforms to data.URI.
stem.visible(optional)Determines whether a stem should be displayed. Value conforms to data.BOOLEAN.
stem.x(optional)Records the output x coordinate of the stem’s attachment point. Value is a decimal number.
stem.y(optional)Records the output y coordinate of the stem’s attachment point. Value is a decimal number.
