Visual offset attributes. Some items may have their location recorded in terms of
offsets
from their programmatically-determined location. The ho attribute records the horizontal
offset while vo records the vertical. The to attribute holds a timestamp offset, the
most
common use of which is as an alternative to the ho attribute.
@ho(optional)Records a horizontal adjustment to a feature’s programmatically-determined location
in
terms of staff interline distance; that is, in units of 1/2 the distance between adjacent
staff lines.
Value conforms to data.MEASUREMENTSIGNED.
@vo(optional)Records the vertical adjustment of a feature’s programmatically-determined location
in
terms of staff interline distance; that is, in units of 1/2 the distance between adjacent
staff lines.
Value conforms to data.MEASUREMENTSIGNED.
@ho(optional)Records a horizontal adjustment to a feature’s programmatically-determined location

(MEI.shared) Vertical offset attributes.
@vo(optional)Records the vertical adjustment of a feature’s programmatically-determined location
in
terms of staff interline distance; that is, in units of 1/2 the distance between adjacent
staff lines.
Value conforms to data.MEASUREMENTSIGNED.

<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".
<artic>An indication of how to play a note or chord.
<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.
<clef>Indication of the exact location of a particular note on the staff and, therefore,
the
other notes as well.
<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.
<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'.
<fing>An individual finger in a fingering indication.
<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 >.
<lv>A "tie-like" indication that a note should ring beyond its written duration.
<mNum>Designation, name, or label for a measure, often but not always
consisting of digits. Use this element when the @n attribute on <measure> does not adequately capture the appearance or placement of the measure
number/label.
<mordent>An ornament indicating rapid alternation of the main note with a secondary note, usually
a
step below, but sometimes a step above.
<reh>In an orchestral score and its corresponding parts, a mark indicating a
convenient point from which to resume rehearsal after a break.
<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.
<rest>A non-sounding event found in the source being transcribed.
<slur>Indication of 1) a "unified melodic idea" or 2) performance technique.
<tempo>Text and symbols descriptive of tempo, mood, or style, e.g., "allarg.", "a tempo",
"cantabile", "Moderato", "♩=60", "Moderato ♩ =60").
<tie>An indication that two notes of the same pitch form a single note with their combined
rhythmic values.
<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.
<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".
<breath>An indication of a point at which the performer on an instrument requiring
breath (including the voice) may breathe.
