– (<mordent> may not have child elements)
Remarks

The starting point of the mordent may be indicated by either a @startid, @tstamp, @tstamp.ges, or @tstamp.real attribute. It is a semantic error not to specify one of these attributes.

Constraints

Must have one of the attributes: startid, tstamp, tstamp.ges or tstamp.real.
