barplace mei:mei_data.BARPLACE optional

Used to indicate visual appearance. Do not confuse this with the musical

control mei:mei_data.BOOLEAN 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. When applied to <measure>, this attribute indicates the nature of the
right barline but not the left.

Points to an element of which the current element is a
copy.

Used to point to other elements that correspond to this one in a generic
fashion.

Specifies the intended meaning when a participant in a relationship is
itself a pointer.
facs restriction of list of mei:mei_data.URI optional 
Permits the current element to reference a facsimile surface or image zone
which corresponds to it.
form mei:mei_data.BARRENDITION optional 
Records the appearance and usually the function of the bar
line.

Provides a name or label for an element. The value may be any

synch restriction of list of mei:mei_data.URI optional 
Points to elements that are synchronous with the current
element.
taktplace mei:mei_data.STAFFLOC optional 
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.
target restriction of list of mei:mei_data.URI optional 
Allows the use of one or more previously-undeclared URIs to identify
passive participants in a relationship; that is, the entities pointed
