Attributes
@artic, @color, @enclose, @glyph.auth, @glyph.name, @glyph.num, @glyph.uri, @ho, @label, @layer, @place, @plist, @staff, @tstamp, @type, @vo, @xml:id
@artic(optional)Encodes the written articulation(s). Articulations are normally encoded in order from the note head outward; that is, away from the stem. See additional notes at att.vis.note. Only articulations should be encoded in the artic attribute; for example, fingerings should be encoded using the <fing> element.
<artic>att.artic.logatt.articulation@artic
@color(optional)Used to indicate visual appearance. Do not confuse this with the musical term 'color' as used in pre-CMN notation.
<artic>att.artic.visatt.color@color
@enclose(optional)Records the characters often used to mark accidentals, articulations, and sometimes notes as having a cautionary or editorial function. For an example of cautionary accidentals enclosed in parentheses, see Read, p. 131, ex. 9-14.

(MEI.shared) Groups elements that may appear as part of the content of a chord element.
<chord>A simultaneous sounding of two or more notes in the same layer *with the same duration*.
(MEI.shared) Groups elements that modify note-like features.
<note>A single pitched event.
<chord>A simultaneous sounding of two or more notes in the same layer *with the same duration*.

May Contain
– (<artic> may not have child elements)
Remarks

Articulations typically affect duration, such as staccato marks, or the force of attack, such as accents. This element provides an alternative to the @artic attribute on the <note> and <chord> elements. It may be used when specific display info, such as size or color, needs to be recorded for the articulation or when multiple articulation marks occur on a single note or chord.
