Logical domain attributes. The n attribute contains a name or number associated with
the
measure (Read, p. 445). Often, this is an integer, but not always. For example, some
measures,
especially incomplete measures or those under an ending mark, may have labels that
contain an
integer plus a suffix, such as '12a'. Measures may even have labels, especially in
editorial
or analytical uses of MEI, that are entirely non-numeric strings. Measure numbers
may be
machine-generated instead of encoding them in the markup. However, an explicit measure
number
should restart numbering with the given value. The join attribute may be used to indicate
another measure which metrically completes the current, incomplete one.
control(optional)Indicates whether or not a bar line is "controlling"; that is, if it indicates a point
of alignment across all the parts. Bar lines within a score are usually controlling;
that
is, they "line up". Bar lines within parts may or may not be controlling. When applied
to
measure, this attribute indicates the nature of the right barline
but not the left.
Value conforms to data.BOOLEAN.
left(optional)Indicates the visual rendition of the left bar line. It is present here only for
facilitation of translation from legacy encodings which use it. Usually, it can be
safely
ignored.
Value conforms to data.BARRENDITION.
metcon(optional)Indicates the relationship between the content of a measure and the prevailing
meter.
Value conforms to data.BOOLEAN.
right(optional)Indicates the function of the right bar line and is structurally important.
Value conforms to data.BARRENDITION.
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.
left(optional)Indicates the visual rendition of the left bar line. It is present here only for
facilitation of translation from legacy encodings which use it. Usually, it can be
safely
ignored.

(MEI.performance) Temporal alignment attributes.
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.
(MEI.shared) Attributes that provide information about a measure's conformance to
the prevailing meter.
metcon(optional)Indicates the relationship between the content of a measure and the prevailing
meter.
