mei:note

Captures a written accidental.

Records the performed pitch inflection.

Provides a way of pointing to a user-defined symbol. It must contain an ID
of a <symbolDef> element elsewhere in the document.

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.

Indicates that this event is "under a beam".

Presence of this attribute indicates that the secondary beam should be
broken following this note/chord. The value of the attribute records the number of beams
which should remain unbroken.

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.

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.

Captures relative scale degree information using Humdrum **deg syntax --
an optional indicator of melodic approach (^ = ascending approach, v = descending
approach), a scale degree value (1 = tonic ... 7 = leading tone), and an optional
indication of chromatic alteration. The amount of chromatic alternation is not
indicated.

Records the number of augmentation dots required by a dotted
duration.

Records the duration of a feature using the relative durational values
provided by the data.DURATION datatype.

Records performed duration information that differs from the written
duration. Its value may be expressed in several forms; that is, ppq (MIDI clicks and
MusicXML 'divisions'), Humdrum **recip values, beats, seconds, or mensural duration
values.

Records the characters often used to mark accidentals, articulations, and
sometimes notes as having a cautionary or editorial function. For an example of cautionary
accidentals enclosed in parentheses, see Read, p. 131, ex. 9-14.

Permits the current element to reference a facsimile surface or image zone
which corresponds to it.

Indicates the attachment of a fermata to this element. If visual
information about the fermata needs to be recorded, then a <fermata> element should
be employed instead.

Contains the name of a font-family.

Holds the name of a font.

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%".

Records the style of a font, i.e, italic, oblique, or
normal.

Used to indicate bold type.

Indicates that this element participates in a
glissando.

Glyph name.

Numeric glyph reference in hexadecimal notation, e.g. "#xE000" or
"U+E000". N.B. SMuFL version 1.18 uses the range U+E000 - U+ECBF.

Marks a note or chord as a "grace" (without a definitive written duration)
and records from which other note/chord it should "steal" time.

Records the amount of time to be "stolen" from a non-grace
note/chord.

Captures the overall color of a notehead.

Describes how/if the notehead is filled.

Captures the fill color of a notehead if different from the overall note
color.

Records any additional symbols applied to the notehead.

Describes rotation applied to the basic notehead shape. A positive value
rotates the notehead in a counter-clockwise fashion, while negative values produce
clockwise rotation.

Used to override the head shape normally used for the given
duration.

Indicates if a feature should be rendered when the notation is presented
graphically or sounded when it is presented in an aural form.

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.

Provides a way of pointing to a MIDI instrument definition. It must
contain the ID of an <instrDef> element elsewhere in the
document.

Encodes the melodic interval from the previous pitch. The value may be a
general directional indication (u, d, s), an indication of diatonic interval direction,
quality, and size, or a precise numeric value in half steps.

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

Identifies the layer to which a feature applies.

Indicates this element's participation in a ligature.

Holds the staff location of the feature.

Indicates the attachment of an l.v. (laissez vibrer) sign to this
element.

Describes melodic function using Humdrum **embel
syntax.

Provides a number-like designation for an element.

Used to point to the next event(s) in a user-defined
collection.

Along with numbase, describes duration as a ratio. num is the first value
in the ratio, while numbase is the second.

Along with num, describes duration as a ratio. num is the first value in
the ratio, while numbase is the second.

Captures written octave information.

Records performed octave information that differs from the written
value.

Indicates that this element has an attached ornament. If visual
information about the ornament is needed, then one of the elements that represents an
ornament (mordent, trill, or turn) should be employed.

Holds pitch class information.

Contains a written pitch name.

Contains a performed pitch name that differs from the written
value.

Holds a pitch-to-number mapping, a base-40 or MIDI note number, for
example.

Points to the previous event(s) in a user-defined
collection.

Contains sol-fa designation, e.g., do, re, mi, etc., in either a fixed or
movable Do system.

Points to an element that is the same as the current element but is not a
literal copy of the current element.

Describes the relative size of a feature.

Indicates that this element participates in a slur. If visual information
about the slur needs to be recorded, then a <slur> element should be
employed.

Signifies the staff on which a notated event occurs or to which a control
event applies. Mandatory when applicable.

Describes the direction of a stem.

Encodes the stem length.

Encodes any stem "modifiers"; that is, symbols rendered on the stem, such
as tremolo or Sprechstimme indicators.

Records the position of the stem in relation to the note
head(s).

Contains an indication of which staff a note or chord that logically
belongs to the current staff should be visually placed on; that is, the one above or the
one below.

Records the output x coordinate of the stem's attachment
point.

Records the output y coordinate of the stem's attachment
point.

Holds an associated sung text syllable.

Points to elements that are synchronous with the current
element.

Records the fret at which a string should be stopped.

Records which string is to be played.

Indicates that this element participates in a tie. If visual information
about the tie needs to be recorded, then a <tie> element should be
employed.

Records a timestamp adjustment of a feature's programmatically-determined
location in terms of musical time; that is, beats.

Encodes the onset time in terms of musical time, i.e.,
beats[.fractional_beat_part].

Captures performed onset time in several forms; that is, ppq (MIDI clicks
and MusicXML 'divisions'), Humdrum **recip values, beats, seconds, or mensural duration
values.

Used to record the onset time in terms of ISO time.

Indicates that this feature participates in a tuplet. If visual
information about the tuplet needs to be recorded, then a <tuplet> element should be
employed.

MIDI Note-on/off velocity.

Indicates if a feature should be rendered when the notation is presented
graphically or sounded when it is presented in an aural form.

Indicates the point of occurrence of this feature along a time line. Its
value must be the ID of a when element elsewhere in the document.

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.

Provides a base URI reference with which applications can resolve relative
URI references into absolute URI references.

Regularizes the naming of an element and thus facilitates building links
between it and other resources. Each id attribute within a document must have a unique
value.

Encodes an 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.
