@color, @cue, @form, @place, @slash, @slope, @visible

@color(optional)Used to indicate visual appearance. Do not confuse this with the musical term 'color' as used in pre-CMN notation.

@cue(optional)

@form(optional)Captures whether a beam is "feathered" and in which direction. Allowed values are: "acc" (means that the secondary beams become progressively more distant toward the end of the beam.), "mixed" (for beams that are "feathered" in both directions.), "rit" (indicates that the secondary beams get progressively closer together toward the end of the beam.), "norm" (indicates that the secondary beams are equidistant along the course of the beam.)

@place(optional)Records the placement of the beam relative to the events it affects.

@slash(optional)Indicates presence of slash through the beam.

@slope(optional)Records the slope of a beam; e.g., in MEI virtual units. Positive values indicate upward slope, negative values indicate slope downward, and a zero value indicates the beam is horizontal.

@visible(optional)Indicates if a feature should be rendered when the notation is presented graphically or sounded when it is presented in an aural form.

att.color(MEI.shared) Visual color attributes.

@color(optional)Used to indicate visual appearance. Do not confuse this with the musical term 'color' as used in pre-CMN notation.

att.cue(MEI.shared) Attributes that describe "cue-ness".

@cue(optional)

att.beamRend(MEI.cmn) Attributes that record the visual rendition of beams.

@form(optional)Captures whether a beam is "feathered" and in which direction. Allowed values are: "acc" (means that the secondary beams become progressively more distant toward the end of the beam.), "mixed" (for beams that are "feathered" in both directions.), "rit" (indicates that the secondary beams get progressively closer together toward the end of the beam.), "norm" (indicates that the secondary beams are equidistant along the course of the beam.)

@place(optional)Records the placement of the beam relative to the events it affects.

@slash(optional)Indicates presence of slash through the beam.

@slope(optional)Records the slope of a beam; e.g., in MEI virtual units. Positive values indicate upward slope, negative values indicate slope downward, and a zero value indicates the beam is horizontal.

att.visibility(MEI.shared) Attributes describing whether a feature should be displayed.

@visible(optional)Indicates if a feature should be rendered when the notation is presented graphically or sounded when it is presented in an aural form.

MEI.shared

@color(optional)Used to indicate visual appearance. Do not confuse this with the musical term 'color' as used in pre-CMN notation.
