@when(optional)Indicates the point of occurrence of this feature along a time line. Its value must be the ID of a when element elsewhere in the document. Value conforms to data.URI. att.alignment
@x(optional)Encodes an x coordinate for a feature in an output coordinate system. When it is necessary to record the placement of a feature in a facsimile image, use the facs attribute. Value of datatype decimal. att.xy
@xml:base(optional)Provides a base URI reference with which applications can resolve relative URI references into absolute URI references. Value conforms to data.URI. att.commonPart
@xml:id(optional)Regularizes the naming of an element and thus facilitates building links between it and other resources. Each id attribute within a document must have a unique value. Value of datatype ID. att.id
@y(optional)Encodes an y coordinate for a feature in an output coordinate system. When it is necessary to record the placement of a feature in a facsimile image, use the facs attribute. Value of datatype decimal. att.xy

Remarks

This element provides an alternative to the staffGrp element's symbol attribute. It may be used when exact placement or editorial details for the grouping symbol must be recorded.

Constraint

In scoreDef, grpSym must have startid, endid, and level attributes.


                  <sch:rule context="mei:grpSym[parent::mei:scoreDef]">
                     
                     <sch:assert test="@startid and @endid and @level">In scoreDef, grpSym must have startid,
                        endid, and level attributes.</sch:assert>
                     </sch:rule>

Constraint

In staffGrp, grpSym must not have startid, endid, or level attributes.


                  <sch:rule context="mei:grpSym[parent::mei:staffGrp]">
                     
                     <sch:assert test="not(@startid or @endid or @level)">In staffGrp, grpSym must not have
                        startid, endid, or level attributes.</sch:assert>
