@next(optional)Used to point to the next event(s) in a user-defined collection.
@precedes(optional)Points to one or more events in a user-defined collection that are known to be successors of the current element.
@prev(optional)Points to the previous event(s) in a user-defined collection.
@resp(optional)Indicates the agent(s) responsible for some aspect of the text’s transcription, editing, or encoding. Its value must point to one or more identifiers declared in the document header.

@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.
@x(optional)Encodes an x coordinate for a feature in an output coordinate system. When it is necessary to record the placement of a feature in a facsimile image, use the facs attribute.
@xml:base(optional)Provides a base URI reference with which applications can resolve relative URI references into absolute URI references.
@xml:id(optional)Regularizes the naming of an element and thus facilitates building links between it and other resources. Each id attribute within a document must have a unique value.
@y(optional)Encodes a y coordinate for a feature in an output coordinate system. When it is necessary to record the placement of a feature in a facsimile image, use the facs attribute.
@altsym(optional)Provides a way of pointing to a user-defined symbol. It must contain a reference to an ID of a <symbolDef> element elsewhere in the document.
@curve(optional)Records direction of curvature. Allowed values are: "a" (Anti-clockwise curvature.), "c" (Clockwise curvature.)
