(<tabDurSym> may not have child elements)
Remarks

The presence of a <tabDurSym> indicates that there is a symbol rendered for the parent <tabGrp>. If no additional attributes like @altsym are given, a default symbol conforming to the current notation style or font is to be used. The absence of this elements indicates that the last provided duration symbol equally applies to the current tab group.
