<att.syl.vis>att.horizontalAlign@halign
ho(optional)Records a horizontal adjustment to 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.MEASUREMENTSIGNED.
<att.syl.vis>att.visualOffsetatt.visualOffset.ho@ho
letterspacing(optional)Indicates letter spacing (aka tracking) in analogy to the CSS letter-spacing property. Value conforms to data.MEASUREMENTTYPOGRAPHYSIGNED.
<att.syl.vis>att.typography@letterspacing
lineheight(optional)Indicates line height in analogy to the CSS line-height property. Value conforms to either data.MEASUREMENTTYPOGRAPHYUNSIGNED or data.PERCENT.

place(optional)Captures the placement of the item with respect to the staff with which it is associated. Value conforms to data.STAFFREL.
<att.syl.vis>att.placementRelStaff@place
to(optional)Records a timestamp adjustment of a feature’s programmatically-determined location in terms of musical time; that is, beats. Value conforms to data.TSTAMPOFFSET.
<att.syl.vis>att.visualOffsetatt.visualOffset.to@to
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.MEASUREMENTSIGNED.
<att.syl.vis>att.visualOffsetatt.visualOffset.vo@vo
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 is a decimal number.
<att.syl.vis>att.xy@x
y(optional)Encodes a 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 is a decimal number.
<att.syl.vis>att.xy@y
(MEI.shared) Attributes capturing placement information with respect to the staff.
place(optional)Captures the placement of the item with respect to the staff with which it is associated. Value conforms to data.STAFFREL.
(MEI.shared) Typographical attributes.
fontfam(optional)Contains the name of a font-family. Value conforms to data.FONTFAMILY.
fontname(optional)Holds the name of a font. Value conforms to data.FONTNAME.
fontsize(optional)Indicates the size of a font expressed in printers' points, i.e., 1/72nd of an inch, relative terms, e.g., small, larger, etc., or percentage values relative to normal size, e.g., 125%. Value conforms to data.FONTSIZE.
fontstyle(optional)Records the style of a font, i.e., italic, oblique, or normal. Value conforms to data.FONTSTYLE.
fontweight(optional)Used to indicate bold type. Value conforms to data.FONTWEIGHT.
letterspacing(optional)Indicates letter spacing (aka tracking) in analogy to the CSS letter-spacing property. Value conforms to data.MEASUREMENTTYPOGRAPHYSIGNED.
lineheight(optional)Indicates line height in analogy to the CSS line-height property. Value conforms to either data.MEASUREMENTTYPOGRAPHYUNSIGNED or data.PERCENT.
(MEI.shared) Visual offset attributes. Some items may have their location recorded in terms of offsets from their programmatically-determined location. The ho attribute records the horizontal offset while vo records the vertical. The to attribute holds a timestamp offset, the most common use of which is as an alternative to the ho attribute.
(MEI.shared) Horizontal offset attributes.
ho(optional)Records a horizontal adjustment to 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.MEASUREMENTSIGNED.
(MEI.shared) Horizontal offset attributes specified in terms of time.
to(optional)Records a timestamp adjustment of a feature’s programmatically-determined location in terms of musical time; that is, beats. Value conforms to data.TSTAMPOFFSET.
(MEI.shared) Vertical offset attributes.
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.MEASUREMENTSIGNED.
(MEI.shared) Output coordinate attributes. Some elements may have their exact rendered *output* coordinates recorded. x and y attributes indicate where to place the rendered output. Recording the coordinates of a feature in a facsimile requires the use of the facs attribute.
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 is a decimal number.
y(optional)Encodes a 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 is a decimal number.
(MEI.shared) Attributes that record horizontal alignment.
halign(optional)Records horizontal alignment. Value conforms to data.HORIZONTALALIGNMENT.
Component declarations that are shared between two or more modules.
