att.transposition

Attributes that describe transposition.
Module
MEI.shared
Attributes
trans.diat, trans.semi
trans.diat(optional)Records the amount of diatonic pitch shift, e.g., C to C♯ = 0, C to D♭ = 1, necessary to calculate the sounded pitch from the written one. Value is an integer.
<att.transposition>direct children@trans.diat
trans.semi(optional)Records the amount of pitch shift in semitones, e.g., C to C♯ = 1, C to D♭ = 1, necessary to calculate the sounded pitch from the written one. Value is an integer.

trans.semi(optional)Records the amount of pitch shift in semitones, e.g., C to C♯ = 1, C to D♭ = 1, necessary to calculate the sounded pitch from the written one. Value is an integer.

Remarks

Diatonic transposition requires both trans.diat and trans.semi attributes in order to distinguish the difference, for example, between a transposition from C to C♯ and one from C to D♭.
