Remarks

If it is not textual, the glyph of the ornament may be indicated with the @altsym attribute, and it is recommended to provide an expansion of the ornament on the staff content. The starting point of the ornament 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.
