Remarks

If it is not textual, the glyph of the ornament may be indicated with the altsym attribute, and it is recommended to provide an expansion of the ornament on the staff content. The starting point of the ornament may be indicated by either a startid, tstamp, tstamp.ges, or tstamp.real attribute. It is a semantic error not to specify one of these attributes.

Constraints

Must have one of the attributes: startid, tstamp, tstamp.ges or tstamp.real.
