Available at
<rend>A formatting element indicating special visual rendering, e.g., bold or italicized, of a text word or phrase.
<accid>Records a temporary alteration to the pitch of a note.
<ambNote>Highest or lowest pitch in a score, staff, or layer.
<arpeg>Indicates that the notes of a chord are to be performed successively rather than simultaneously, usually from lowest to highest. Sometimes called a "roll".
<artic>An indication of how to play a note or chord.
<beatRpt>An indication that material on a preceding beat should be repeated.
<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.
<caesura>Break, pause, or interruption in the normal tempo of a composition. Typically indicated by "railroad tracks", i.e., two diagonal slashes.
<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.
<cpMark>A verbal or graphical indication to copy musical material written elsewhere.
<custos>Symbol placed at the end of a line of music to indicate the first note of the next line. Sometimes called a "direct".
<dot>Dot of augmentation or division.
<episema>Episema.
<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.
<grpSym>A brace or bracket used to group two or more staves of a score or part.
<halfmRpt>A half-measure repeat in any meter.
<harpPedal>Harp pedal diagram.
<hispanTick>Hispanic tick.
<keyAccid>Accidental in a key signature.

<mensuration>Captures information about mensuration within bibliographic descriptions.
<meterSig>Written meter signature.
<mNum>Designation, name, or label for a measure, often but not always consisting of digits. Use this element when the @n attribute on <measure> does not adequately capture the appearance or placement of the measure number/label.
