Common Music Notation (CMN) repertoire component declarations.
<bend>A variation in pitch (often micro-tonal) upwards or downwards during the course of
a
note.
<gliss>A continuous or sliding movement from one pitch to another, usually
indicated by a straight or wavy line.
<repeatMark>
An instruction expressed as a combination of text and symbols – segno and coda – typically
above,
below, or between staves, but not on the staff.
Dramatic text component declarations.
model.stageDirLikeGroups elements containing stage directions in performance texts.
<sp>Contains an individual speech in a performance text.
Editorial and transcriptional component declarations.
<cpMark>A verbal or graphical indication to copy musical material
written elsewhere.
<metaMark>A graphical or textual statement with additional / explanatory information about the
musical text. The textual consequences of this intervention are encoded independently
via
other means; that is, with elements such as <add>, <del>, etc.
Fingering component declarations.
model.fingeringLikeGroups elements that capture performance instructions regarding the use of the fingers
of
the hand (or a subset of them).
Harmony component declarations.
model.controlEventLike.harmonyGroups harmonic elements that function as control events; that is, those events that
modify or otherwise depend on the existence of notated events.
Component declarations that are shared between two or more modules.
<caesura>Break, pause, or interruption in the normal tempo of a composition. Typically indicated
by
"railroad tracks", i.e., two diagonal slashes.
<dir>An instruction expressed as a combination of text and symbols, typically above,
below, or between staves, but not on the staff — that is not encoded elsewhere in
more specific
elements, like <tempo>, <dynam> or <repeatMark>.
<dynam>Indication of the volume of a note, phrase, or section of music.
<ornam>An element indicating an ornament that is not a mordent, turn, or trill.
<phrase>Indication of 1) a "unified melodic idea" or 2) performance technique.
<tempo>Text and symbols descriptive of tempo, mood, or style, e.g., "allarg.", "a tempo",
"cantabile", "Moderato", "♩=60", "Moderato ♩ =60").
(MEI.shared) Groups elements, such as dynamics, ties, phrase marks, pedal marks, etc.,
which depend upon other events, such as notes or rests, for their existence.
(MEI.cmn) Groups elements that may appear within a CMN measure.
<measure>Unit of musical time consisting of a fixed number of note values of a given type,
as
determined by the prevailing meter, and delimited in musical notation by bar lines.
(MEI.critapp) Groups elements that may appear as part of a musical variant.
(MEI.critapp) Groups elements that may appear as part of a textual or musical variant.
<lem>Contains the lemma, or base text, of a textual variation.
<rdg>Contains a single reading within a textual variation.
(MEI.edittrans) Groups elements that may appear as part of editorial and transcription
elements in music notation.
(MEI.edittrans) Groups elements that may appear as part of editorial and transcription
elements.
<abbr>A generic element for 1) a shortened form of a word, including an acronym
or 2) a shorthand notation.
<corr>Contains the correct form of an apparent erroneous passage.
<damage>Contains an area of damage to the physical medium.
<del>Contains information deleted, marked as deleted, or otherwise indicated as
superfluous or spurious in the copy text by an author, scribe, annotator, or corrector.
<orig>Contains material which is marked as following the original, rather than
being normalized or corrected.
<reg>Contains material which has been regularized or normalized in some
sense.
<restore>Indicates restoration of material to an earlier state by cancellation of an editorial
or
authorial marking or instruction.
<sic>Contains apparently incorrect or inaccurate material.
<supplied>Contains material supplied by the transcriber or editor for any reason.
<unclear>Contains material that cannot be transcribed with certainty because it is illegible
or
inaudible in the source.
(MEI.mensural) Groups elements that are components of a staff in the mensural repertoire.
(MEI.shared) Groups elements that are components of a staff in the mensural and neume
repertoires.
(MEI.shared) Groups elements that are components of a staff.
<oStaff>A staff that holds an alternative passage which may be played instead of
the original material.
<staff>A group of equidistant horizontal lines on which notes are placed in order to represent
pitch or a grouping element for individual 'strands' of notes, rests, etc. that may
or may not
actually be rendered on staff lines; that is, both diastematic and non-diastematic
signs.
(MEI.neumes) Groups elements that may appear as part of the content of a syllable.
<syllable>Neume notation can be thought of as "neumed text". Therefore, the syllable element
provides high-level organization in this repertoire.
