Remarks

The @dis and @dis.place attributes record the amount and direction of displacement, respectively. The @lform and @lwidth attributes capture the appearance of the continuation line associated with the octave displacement. The starting point of the octave displacement may be indicated by either a @startid, @tstamp, @tstamp.ges, or @tstamp.real attribute, while the ending point may be recorded by either a @dur, @dur.ges, @endid, or @tstamp2 attribute. It is a semantic error not to specify one starting and one ending type of attribute. Also, note that the @dur attribute is not required because the octave displacement can be visually instantaneous.

Constraints

Must have one of the attributes: startid, tstamp, tstamp.ges or tstamp.real.
Must have one of the attributes: dur, dur.ges, endid, or tstamp2.
