@type(optional)Characterizes the element in some sense, using any convenient classification scheme or typology. Value of datatype NMTOKEN. att.typed
@vo(optional)Records the vertical adjustment of a feature's programmatically-determined location in terms of staff interline distance; that is, in units of 1/2 the distance between adjacent staff lines. Value conforms to data.MEASUREMENTREL. att.visualoffset.vo
@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

The starting point, e.g. "hotspot", of the symbol may be identified in absolute output coordinate terms using the x and y attributes or relative to another element using the startid attribute. Attributes in the att.visualoffset class may be used to record horizontal, vertical, or time offsets from the absolute coordinates or from the location of the referenced element. The ref attribute must contain the id of a symbolDef element. The scale attribute indicates that the printed output must be scaled by the specified percentage.

Constraint

In the symbolDef context, symbol must have either a startid attribute or x and y attributes.

In the symbolDef context, symbol must have one of the following attributes: altsym, glyphname, or glyphnum.

                     <sch:assert test="@startid or (@x and @y)">In the symbolDef context, symbol must have
                        either a startid attribute or x and y attributes.</sch:assert>
                     
                     <sch:assert test="@altsym or @glyphname or @glyphnum">In the symbolDef context, symbol
                        must have one of the following attributes: altsym, glyphname, or
                        glyphnum.</sch:assert>
