@attach(optional)Records whether the grace note group is attached to the following event or to the preceding one. The usual name for the latter is "Nachschlag". Allowed values are: "pre" (Attached to the preceding event.), "post" (Attached to the following event.), "unknown" (Attachment is ambiguous.)
<graceGrp>att.graceGrp.log@attach
@color(optional)Used to indicate visual appearance. Do not confuse this with the musical term 'color' as used in pre-CMN notation. Value conforms to data.COLOR.
<graceGrp>att.graceGrp.visatt.color@color
@grace(optional)Marks a note or chord as a "grace" (without a definite performed duration) and records from which other note/chord it should "steal" time. Value conforms to data.GRACE.
