att.scoreDef.ges

Gestural domain attributes for scoreDef. The values set in these attributes act as score-wide defaults for attributes that are not set in descendant elements. For example, the grace attribute value here applies to all the grace attribute values in the score (or, more accurately, until the next <scoreDef> element) without having to individually set each note’s grace attribute value. The midi.* attributes function as default values when creating sounding output. The tune.* attributes provide the capability of recording a tuning reference pitch.
Module
Attributes
@midi.bpm, @midi.channel, @midi.duty, @midi.mspb, @midi.port, @midi.track, @mm, @mm.dots, @mm.unit, @ppq, @tune.Hz, @tune.pname, @tune.temper
@midi.bpm(optional)Captures the number of *quarter notes* per minute. In MIDI, a beat is always defined as a quarter note, *not the numerator of the time signature or the metronomic indication*.
@midi.channel(optional)Records a MIDI channel value.
@midi.duty(optional)Specifies the 'on' part of the duty cycle as a percentage of a note’s duration.
@midi.mspb(optional)Records the number of microseconds per *quarter note*. In MIDI, a beat is always defined as a quarter note, *not the numerator of the time signature or the metronomic indication*. At 120 quarter notes per minute, each quarter note will last 500,000 microseconds.
@midi.port(optional)Sets the MIDI port value.
@midi.track(optional)Sets the MIDI track.
@mm(optional)Used to describe tempo in terms of beats (often the meter signature denominator) per minute; e.g., M.M. (Maelzel’s Metronome) markings. Do not confuse this attribute with @midi.bpm or @midi.mspb. In MIDI, a beat is always defined as a quarter note, not the numerator of the time signature or the metronomic indication.
@mm.dots(optional)Records the number of augmentation dots required by a dotted metronome unit.
@mm.unit(optional)Captures the metronomic unit.
@ppq(optional)Indicates the number of pulses (sometimes referred to as ticks or divisions) per quarter note. Unlike MIDI, MEI permits different values for a score and individual staves.
@tune.Hz(optional)Holds a value for cycles per second, i.e., Hertz, for a tuning reference pitch.
@tune.pname(optional)Holds the pitch name of a tuning reference pitch, i.e., the central tone of a tuning system.
@tune.temper(optional)Provides an indication of the tuning system, just, for example.
(MEI.midi) Attributes that record MIDI channel information.
@midi.channel(optional)Records a MIDI channel value.
@midi.duty(optional)Specifies the 'on' part of the duty cycle as a percentage of a note’s duration.
@midi.port(optional)Sets the MIDI port value.
@midi.track(optional)Sets the MIDI track.
(MEI.midi) Attributes that record time-base information.
@ppq(optional)Indicates the number of pulses (sometimes referred to as ticks or divisions) per quarter note. Unlike MIDI, MEI permits different values for a score and individual staves.
(MEI.shared) Attributes that describe tuning.
@tune.Hz(optional)Holds a value for cycles per second, i.e., Hertz, for a tuning reference pitch.
@tune.pname(optional)Holds the pitch name of a tuning reference pitch, i.e., the central tone of a tuning system.
@tune.temper(optional)Provides an indication of the tuning system, just, for example.
(MEI.midi) Attributes that record MIDI tempo information.
@midi.bpm(optional)Captures the number of *quarter notes* per minute. In MIDI, a beat is always defined as a quarter note, *not the numerator of the time signature or the metronomic indication*.
@midi.mspb(optional)Records the number of microseconds per *quarter note*. In MIDI, a beat is always defined as a quarter note, *not the numerator of the time signature or the metronomic indication*. At 120 quarter notes per minute, each quarter note will last 500,000 microseconds.
(MEI.shared) Attributes that record tempo in terms of beats per minute.
@mm(optional)Used to describe tempo in terms of beats (often the meter signature denominator) per minute; e.g., M.M. (Maelzel’s Metronome) markings. Do not confuse this attribute with @midi.bpm or @midi.mspb. In MIDI, a beat is always defined as a quarter note, not the numerator of the time signature or the metronomic indication.
@mm.unit(optional)Captures the metronomic unit.
@mm.dots(optional)Records the number of augmentation dots required by a dotted metronome unit.
@midi.bpm(optional)Captures the number of *quarter notes* per minute. In MIDI, a beat is always defined as a quarter note, *not the numerator of the time signature or the metronomic indication*.
@midi.channel(optional)Records a MIDI channel value.
@midi.duty(optional)Specifies the 'on' part of the duty cycle as a percentage of a note’s duration.
@midi.mspb(optional)Records the number of microseconds per *quarter note*. In MIDI, a beat is always defined as a quarter note, *not the numerator of the time signature or the metronomic indication*. At 120 quarter notes per minute, each quarter note will last 500,000 microseconds.
@midi.port(optional)Sets the MIDI port value.
@midi.track(optional)Sets the MIDI track.
@ppq(optional)Indicates the number of pulses (sometimes referred to as ticks or divisions) per quarter note. Unlike MIDI, MEI permits different values for a score and individual staves.
@mm(optional)Used to describe tempo in terms of beats (often the meter signature denominator) per minute; e.g., M.M. (Maelzel’s Metronome) markings. Do not confuse this attribute with @midi.bpm or @midi.mspb. In MIDI, a beat is always defined as a quarter note, not the numerator of the time signature or the metronomic indication.
@mm.dots(optional)Records the number of augmentation dots required by a dotted metronome unit.
@mm.unit(optional)Captures the metronomic unit.
@tune.Hz(optional)Holds a value for cycles per second, i.e., Hertz, for a tuning reference pitch.
@tune.pname(optional)Holds the pitch name of a tuning reference pitch, i.e., the central tone of a tuning system.
@tune.temper(optional)Provides an indication of the tuning system, just, for example.
