@instr, @oct.ges, @pname.ges, @tab.course, @tab.fret, @tab.line, @vel

@instr(optional)Provides a way of pointing to a MIDI instrument definition. It must contain the ID of an <instrDef> element elsewhere in the document.

@oct.ges(optional)Records performed octave information that differs from the written value. Value conforms to data.OCTAVE.

@pname.ges(optional)Contains a performed pitch name that differs from the written value. Value conforms to data.PITCHNAME.GESTURAL.

@tab.course(optional)Records which course is to be played.

@tab.fret(optional)Records the location at which a string should be stopped against a fret. The value 0 (zero) indicates the open string. The value omit indicates an omitted string that does not sound.

@tab.line(optional)Used in German lute tablature in cases where vertical positioning deviates from the norm which can be specified by @tab.align. Indicates the position of the tab note on one of the horizontal strands corresponding to the @lines attribute on <staffDef>. (Note that in this case, the lines are conceptual rather than visible).

@vel(optional)MIDI Note-on/off velocity.

direct children
