Remarks
This element may be used for instantaneous or continuous textual dynamics,
e.g. 'p', 'mf', or 'cresc. poco a poco'. The hairpin element should be
used for graphical, i.e., crescendo and diminuendo, dynamic markings. The
starting point of the dynamic marking may be indicated by either a startid,
tstamp, tstamp.ges, or tstamp.real attribute, while the
ending point may be recorded by either a dur, dur.ges,
endid, or tstamp2 attribute. It is a semantic error not to specify a
starting point attribute. MIDI values associated with the graphical dynamic sign may
be
recorded in the val and val2 attributes.
