Remarks

This element is provided for repertoires, such as mensural notation, that lack measures. Because the barLine element’s attributes, from which the logical and visual characteristics of the bar line can be discerned, largely duplicate those of measure, the use of barLine is not necessary within measure elements in CMN.
