Contains classification of the notation contained or described by the element bearing this attribute. Provides any sub-classification of the notation contained or described by the element, additional to that given by its notationtype attribute. An element with a notationsubtype attribute must have a notationtype attribute. Records the function of an accidental. caution Cautionary accidental. edit Editorial accidental. Captures a written accidental. Records the performed pitch inflection. The value of @accid.ges should not duplicate the value of @accid. Encodes the written articulation(s). Articulations are normally encoded in order from the note head outward; that is, away from the stem. See additional notes at att.vis.note. Only articulations should be encoded in the artic attribute; for example, fingerings should be encoded using the <fingering> element. Records performed articulation that differs from the written value. A name or label associated with the controlled vocabulary from which the value is taken. The web-accessible location of the controlled vocabulary from which the value is taken. Records the appearance and usually the function of the bar line. Records the location of a bar line. If takt bar lines are to be used, then the taktplace attribute may be used to denote the staff location of the shortened bar line. The location may include staff lines, spaces, and the spaces directly above and below the staff. The value ranges between 0 (just below the staff) to 2 * number of staff lines (directly above the staff). For example, on a 5-line staff the lines would be numbered 1,3,5,7, and 9 while the spaces would be numbered 0,2,4,6,8,10. For example, a value of '9' puts the bar line through the top line of a 5-line staff. Color of beams, including those associated with tuplets. Encodes whether a beam is "feathered" and in which direction. acc Beam lines grow farther apart from left to right. rit Beam lines grow closer together from left to right. norm Beam lines are equally-spaced over the entire length of the beam. Captures beam slope. Contains a reference to a field or element in another descriptive encoding system to which this MEI element is comparable. Indicates the calendar system to which a date belongs, for example, Gregorian, Julian, Roman, Mosaic, Revolutionary, Islamic, etc. a value that represents or identifies the element content. May serve as a primary key in a web-accessible database identified by the authURI attribute. Indicates a single, alternative note head should be displayed instead of individual note heads. The highest and lowest notes of the chord usually indicate the upper and lower boundaries of the cluster note head. Contains a reference to the controlled vocabulary from which the term is drawn. The value must match the value of an ID attribute on a classCode element given elsewhere in the document. @classcode attribute should have content. The value in @classcode should correspond to the @xml:id attribute of a classCode element. Records the function of the clef. A "cautionary" clef does not change the following pitches. Encodes a value for the clef symbol. Contains a default value for the position of the clef. The value must be in the range between 1 and the number of lines on the staff. The numbering of lines starts with the lowest line of the staff. Records the amount of octave displacement to be applied to the clef. Records the direction of octave displacement to be applied to the clef. Describes the color of the clef. Determines whether the clef is to be displayed. Describes a clef's shape. Used to indicate visual appearance. Do not confuse this with the musical term 'color' as used in pre-CMN notation. Indicates this feature is 'colored'; that is, it is a participant in a change in rhythmic values. In mensural notation, coloration is indicated by colored notes (red, black, etc.) where void notes would otherwise occur. In CMN, coloration is indicated by an inverse color; that is, the note head is void when it would otherwise be filled and vice versa. Provides a number-like designation for an element. Provides a name or label for an element. The value may be any string. Provides a base URI reference with which applications can resolve relative URI references into absolute URI references. Indicates the upper-left corner x coordinate. Indicates the upper-left corner y coordinate. Indicates the lower-right corner x coordinate. Indicates the lower-left corner x coordinate. Records the placement of Bezier control points as a series of pairs of space-separated values; e.g., 19 45 -32 118. Describes a curve as one or more pairs of values with respect to an imaginary line connecting the starting and ending points of the curve. The first value captures a distance to the left (positive value) or right (negative value) of the line, expressed in virtual units. The second value of each pair represents a point along the line, expressed as a percentage of the line's length. N.B. An MEI virtual unit (VU) is half the distance between adjacent staff lines. Describes a curve with a generic term indicating the direction of curvature. above Upward curve. below Downward curve. mixed A "meandering" curve, both above and below the items it pertains to. Describes the line style of a curve. Width of a curved line. Encodes the target note when its pitch differs from the pitch at which the custos appears. @target attribute should have content. The value in @target should correspond to the @xml:id attribute of a note element. Contains the end point of a date range in standard ISO form. Provides the value of a textual date in standard ISO form. Contains an upper boundary for an uncertain date in standard ISO form. Contains a lower boundary, in standard ISO form, for an uncertain date. Contains the starting point of a date range in standard ISO form. Used to link metadata elements to one or more data-containing elements. @data attribute should have content. The value in @data should correspond to the @xml:id attribute of a descendant of the music element. Identifies one or more metadata elements within the header, which are understood to apply to the element bearing this attribute and its content. @decls attribute should have content.

Defines a time segment of interest within a recording or within a digital audio or video file. When @begin or @end is used, @betype should appear on clip or one of its ancestors. A presentation of one or more musical works. A recorded performance. When @begin or @end is used, @betype should be present. Indicates a point in time either absolutely (using the absolute attribute), or relative to another when element (using the since, interval and inttype attributes). @since should be present when @interval is used. The value in @since should correspond to the @xml:id attribute of a when element. @inttype should be present when @interval is used. When @interval contains an integer value, @inttype cannot be 'time'. When @interval contains a time value, @inttype must be 'time'. When @absolute is present, @abstype should be present or @betype should be present on an ancestor. Provides an absolute value for the time point. Specifies the time interval between this time point and the one designated by the since attribute. This attribute can only be interpreted meaningfully in conjunction with the inttype attribute. 1 Specifies the kind of values used in the absolute attribute. Specifies the kind of values used in the interval attribute. Identifies the reference point for determining the time of the current when element, which is obtained by adding the interval to the time of the reference point. The value should be the ID of another when element within the same parent element. If the since attribute is omitted and the absolute attribute is not specified, then the reference point is understood to be the immediately preceding when element. @since attribute should have content. The value in @since should correspond to the @xml:id attribute of a when element. (pointer) – Defines a pointer to another location, using only attributes to describe the destination. (reference) – Defines a reference to another location that may contain text and sub-elements to describe the destination. Records the fret at which a string should be stopped. Records which string is to be played. Provides a *written* pitch and octave for each open string or course of strings.

(front matter) – Bundles prefatory text found before the start of the musical text. (line of text) – Contains a single line of text within a line group. (line group) – May be used for any section of text that is organized as a group of lines; however, it is most often used for a group of verse lines functioning as a formal unit, e.g. a stanza, refrain, verse paragraph, etc. (list item) – Single item in a <list>. A formatting element that contains a series of items separated from one another and arranged in a linear, often vertical, sequence. In a list of type "gloss" all items must be immediately preceded by a label. Used to indicate the format of a list. In a "simple" list, li elements are not numbered or bulleted. In a "marked" list, the sequence of the list items is not critical, and a bullet, box, dash, or other character is displayed at the start of each item. In an "ordered" list, the sequence of the items is important, and each li is lettered or numbered. Style sheet functions should be used to specify the mark or numeration system for each li. simple Items are not numbered or bulleted. marked Bullet, box, dash, or other character is displayed before each item. ordered Each item is numbered or lettered. Captures the nature of the content of a list. Suggested values include: 1] gloss; 2] index; 3] instructions; 4] litany; 5] syllogism gloss Each list item glosses some term or concept, which is given by a label element preceding the list item. index Each list item is an entry in an index such as the alphabetical topical index at the back of a print volume. instructions Each list item is a step in a sequence of instructions, as in a recipe. litany Each list item is one of a sequence of petitions, supplications or invocations, typically in a religious ritual. syllogism Each list item is part of an argument consisting of two or more propositions and a final conclusion derived from them. (block quote) – A formatting element that designates an extended quotation; that is, a passage attributed to a source external to the text and normally set off from the text by spacing or other typographic distinction. Provides a way of pointing to a user-defined symbol. It must contain an ID of a <symbolDef> element elsewhere in the document. @altsym attribute should have content. The value in @altsym should correspond to the @xml:id attribute of a symbolDef element. The value in @altsym must not correspond to the @xml:id attribute of a symbolDef ancestor. Container for text that is fixed to a particular page location, regardless of changes made to the layout of the measures around it. A curved line that cannot be represented by a more specific element, such as a slur. In the symbolDef context, curve must have either a startid attribute or x and y attributes. In the symbolDef context, curve must have either an endid attribute or both x2 and y2 attributes. In the symbolDef context, curve must have either a bezier or bulge attribute. A visual line that cannot be represented by a more specific; i.e., semantic, element. When used in the symbolDef context, must have either a startid attribute or x and y attributes. When used in the symbolDef context, must have either an endid attribute or both x2 and y2 attributes. When used in the score context, must have a startid, tstamp, tstamp.ges or tstamp.real attribute or both x and y attributes. When used in the score context, must have an endid, dur, dur.ges, or tstamp2 attribute or both x2 and y2 attributes. One or more characters which are related to the parent symbol in some respect, as specified by the type attribute. (property name) – Name of a property of the symbol. Characterizes the property name. unicode A registered Unicode normative or informative property name. local A locally defined name. (property value) – A single property value. A reference to a previously defined symbol. 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. (symbol definition) – Declaration of an individual symbol in a symbolTable. (symbol name) – Contains the name of a symbol, expressed following Unicode conventions. (symbol property) – Provides a name and value for some property of the parent symbol. Contains a set of user-defined symbols.
