Available at
<breath>An indication of a point at which the performer on an instrument requiring breath (including the voice) may breathe.
<caesura>Break, pause, or interruption in the normal tempo of a composition. Typically indicated by "railroad tracks", i.e., two diagonal slashes.
<arpeg>Indicates that the notes of a chord are to be performed successively rather than simultaneously, usually from lowest to highest. Sometimes called a "roll".
<fermata>An indication placed over a note or rest to indicate that it should be held longer than its written value. May also occur over a bar line to indicate the end of a phrase or section. Sometimes called a 'hold' or 'pause'.
<gliss>A continuous or sliding movement from one pitch to another, usually indicated by a straight or wavy line.
<hairpin>Indicates continuous dynamics expressed on the score as wedge-shaped graphics, e.g., < and >.
<harpPedal>Harp pedal diagram.
<lv>A "tie-like" indication that a note should ring beyond its written duration.
<octave>An indication that a passage should be performed one or more octaves above or below its written pitch.
<pedal>Piano pedal mark.
<slur>Indication of 1) a "unified melodic idea" or 2) performance technique.
<tie>An indication that two notes of the same pitch form a single note with their combined rhythmic values.
<mordent>An ornament indicating rapid alternation of the main note with a secondary note, usually a step below, but sometimes a step above.
<trill>Rapid alternation of a note with another (usually at the interval of a second above).
<turn>An ornament consisting of four notes — the upper neighbor of the written note, the written note, the lower neighbor, and the written note.
<fing>An individual finger in a fingering indication.
<fingGrp>A group of individual fingers in a fingering indication.
<harm>An indication of harmony, e.g., chord names, tablature grids, harmonic analysis, figured bass.
<accid>Records a temporary alteration to the pitch of a note.
<artic>An indication of how to play a note or chord.
<dir>An instruction expressed as a combination of text and symbols, typically above, below, or between staves, but not on the staff — that is not encoded elsewhere in more specific elements, like <tempo>, <dynam> or <repeatMark>.
<dynam>Indication of the volume of a note, phrase, or section of music.
<ornam>An element indicating an ornament that is not a mordent, turn, or trill.
<repeatMark> An instruction expressed as a combination of text and symbols – segno and coda – typically above, below, or between staves, but not on the staff.
<tempo>Text and symbols descriptive of tempo, mood, or style, e.g., "allarg.", "a tempo", "cantabile", "Moderato", "♩=60", "Moderato ♩ =60").
<clef>Indication of the exact location of a particular note on the staff and, therefore, the other notes as well.
<clefGrp>A set of simultaneously-occurring clefs.
<beam>A container for a series of explicitly beamed events that begins and ends entirely within a measure.
<beatRpt>An indication that material on a preceding beat should be repeated.
<bTrem>A rapid alternation on a single pitch or chord.
<fTrem>A rapid alternation between a pair of notes (or chords or perhaps between a note and a chord) that are (usually) farther apart than a major second.
<graceGrp>A container for a sequence of grace notes.
<halfmRpt>A half-measure repeat in any meter.
<mRest>Complete measure rest in any meter.
<mRpt>An indication that the previous measure should be repeated.
<multiRest>Multiple full measure rests compressed into a single bar, frequently found in performer parts.
<multiRpt>Multiple repeated measures.
<tuplet>A group of notes with "irregular" (sometimes called "irrational") rhythmic values, for example, three notes in the time normally occupied by two or nine in the time of five.
<chord>A simultaneous sounding of two or more notes in the same layer *with the same duration*.
<note>A single pitched event.
<rest>A non-sounding event found in the source being transcribed.
<space>A placeholder used to fill an incomplete measure, layer, etc. most often so that the combined duration of the events equals the number of beats in the measure.
<tabGrp>A group of simultaneous tab notes, comparable to a <chord> in CMN. Rarely, may also contain rests, as in some "German" lute tablatures.
<tabDurSym>A visual indication of the duration of a <tabGrp>.
<arpeg>Indicates that the notes of a chord are to be performed successively rather than simultaneously, usually from lowest to highest. Sometimes called a "roll".
