@endid, @finger, @label, @startid, @tab.course, @tab.fret, @tab.line, @type, @xml:id

@endid(optional)Indicates the final element in a sequence of events to which the feature applies. Value conforms to data.URI.

@finger(optional) Allowed values are: "t" (Thumb), "i" (Index finger), "m" (Middle finger), "r" (Ring finger), "l" (Little finger), "none" (No fingers in use)

@label(optional)Captures text to be used to generate a label for the element to which it’s attached, a "tool tip" or prefatory text, for example. Should not be used to record document content. Value is plain text.

@startid(optional)Holds a reference to the first element in a sequence of events to which the feature applies. Value conforms to data.URI.

@tab.course(optional)Records which course is to be played. Value conforms to data.COURSENUMBER.

@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. Value conforms to either data.FRETNUMBER or data.FRETNUMBER.omit.

@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). Value conforms to data.CLEFLINE.

@type(optional)Designation which characterizes the element in some sense, using any convenient classification scheme or typology that employs single-token labels. One or more values of datatype NMTOKEN, separated by spaces.

@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. Value is a valid xml:id.

att.common(MEI.shared) Attributes common to many elements.

att.id(MEI.shared) Attributes that uniquely identify an element.

@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. Value is a valid xml:id.

att.labelled(MEI.shared)

@label(optional)Captures text to be used to generate a label for the element to which it’s attached, a "tool tip" or prefatory text, for example. Should not be used to record document content. Value is plain text.

att.typed(MEI.shared) Attributes which can be used to classify features.

@type(optional)Designation which characterizes the element in some sense, using any convenient classification scheme or typology that employs single-token labels. One or more values of datatype NMTOKEN, separated by spaces.

att.startEndId(MEI.shared) Attributes recording the identifiers of the first and last elements of a sequence of elements to which the current element is associated.

@endid(optional)Indicates the final element in a sequence of events to which the feature applies. Value conforms to data.URI.

att.startId(MEI.shared) Attributes that identify a relative starting point.

@startid(optional)Holds a reference to the first element in a sequence of events to which the feature applies. Value conforms to data.URI.

att.stringtab(MEI.stringtab) String tablature string and fret information.

@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. Value conforms to either data.FRETNUMBER or data.FRETNUMBER.omit.

@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). Value conforms to data.CLEFLINE.

@tab.course(optional)Records which course is to be played. Value conforms to data.COURSENUMBER.

att.fing.finger(MEI.fingering) Attributes used for a description of the finger (in physical terms).

@finger(optional) Allowed values are: "t" (Thumb), "i" (Index finger), "m" (Middle finger), "r" (Ring finger), "l" (Little finger), "none" (No fingers in use)

MEI.fingering

@finger(optional) Allowed values are: "t" (Thumb), "i" (Index finger), "m" (Middle finger), "r" (Ring finger), "l" (Little finger), "none" (No fingers in use)

MEI.shared

@endid(optional)Indicates the final element in a sequence of events to which the feature applies. Value conforms to data.URI.

@label(optional)Captures text to be used to generate a label for the element to which it’s attached, a "tool tip" or prefatory text, for example. Should not be used to record document content. Value is plain text.

@startid(optional)Holds a reference to the first element in a sequence of events to which the feature applies. Value conforms to data.URI.

@type(optional)Designation which characterizes the element in some sense, using any convenient classification scheme or typology that employs single-token labels. One or more values of datatype NMTOKEN, separated by spaces.

@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. Value is a valid xml:id.

MEI.stringtab

@tab.course(optional)Records which course is to be played. Value conforms to data.COURSENUMBER.

@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. Value conforms to either data.FRETNUMBER or data.FRETNUMBER.omit.

@tab.line(optional)Used in German lute tablature in cases where vertical positioning deviates from the norm which can be specified by @tab.align.

elements having barre as direct children

<chordDef>Complements <harm> with a more detailed description of the notes in a chord. Can describe chord tablature grids.

MEI.harmony

<chordDef>Complements <harm> with a more detailed description of the notes in a chord. Can describe chord tablature grids.

May Contain

– (<barre> may not have child elements)

Remarks

The @startid and @endid attributes are used to indicate the <chordMember> elements on which the barre starts and finishes respectively. The fret at which the barre should be created is recorded by the @tab.fret attribute.
