Attributes
@compressable, @cutout, @dots, @dur, @label, @layer, @staff, @type, @xml:id
@compressable(optional)Indicates whether a space is 'compressible', i.e., if it may be removed at the discretion of processing software. Value conforms to data.BOOLEAN.
<space>att.space.vis@compressable
@cutout(optional)"Cut-out" style. Allowed values are: "cutout" (The staff lines should not be drawn.)
<space>att.space.visatt.cutout@cutout
@dots(optional)Records the number of augmentation dots required by a written dotted duration. Value conforms to data.AUGMENTDOT.
<space>att.space.logatt.augmentDots@dots
@dur(optional)Records the duration of a feature using the relative durational values provided by the data.DURATION datatype. Value conforms to data.DURATION.
<space>att.space.logatt.duration.log@dur
@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.
<space>att.commonatt.labelled@label
@layer(optional)Identifies the layer to which a feature applies. One or more values of datatype positiveInteger, separated by spaces.
<space>att.space.logatt.eventatt.layerIdent@layer
@staff(optional)Signifies the staff on which a notated event occurs or to which a control event applies. Mandatory when applicable. One or more values of datatype positiveInteger, separated by spaces.
<space>att.space.logatt.eventatt.staffIdent@staff
@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.

@dots(optional)Records the number of augmentation dots required by a written dotted duration. Value conforms to data.AUGMENTDOT.
(MEI.shared) Attributes that express duration in musical terms.
@dur(optional)Records the duration of a feature using the relative durational values provided by the data.DURATION datatype. Value conforms to data.DURATION.
(MEI.shared) Attributes that apply to all written events, e.g., note, chord, rest, etc.
(MEI.shared) Attributes that identify the layer to which a feature applies.
@layer(optional)Identifies the layer to which a feature applies. One or more values of datatype positiveInteger, separated by spaces.
(MEI.shared) Attributes for identifying the staff associated with the current feature.
@staff(optional)Signifies the staff on which a notated event occurs or to which a control event applies. Mandatory when applicable. One or more values of datatype positiveInteger, separated by spaces.
