Attributes

QName Type Fixed Default Use Inheritable Annotation
coll restriction of xs:token optional
Indicates whether the octave displacement should be performed
simultaneously with the written notes, i.e., "coll' ottava". Unlike other octave signs
which are indicated by broken lines, coll' ottava typically uses an unbroken line or a
series of longer broken lines, ending with a short vertical stroke. See Read, p.
47-48.
color mei:mei_data.COLOR optional
Used to indicate visual appearance. Do not confuse this with the musical
term 'color' as used in pre-CMN notation.
copyof mei:mei_data.URI optional
Points to an element of which the current element is a
copy.
corresp restriction of list of mei:mei_data.URI optional
Used to point to other elements that correspond to this one in a generic
fashion.
dis mei:mei_data.OCTAVE.DIS optional

Records the number of augmentation dots required by a dotted
duration.
dur restriction of list of mei:mei_data.DURATION.additive optional
Records duration using optionally dotted, relative durational values
provided by the data.DURATION datatype. When the duration is "irrational", as is sometimes
the case with tuplets, multiple space-separated values that add up to the total duration
may be used. When dotted values are present, the dots attribute must be
ignored.
dur.ges mei:mei_data.DURATION.gestural optional
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.
endho mei:mei_data.MEASUREMENTREL optional
Records the horizontal adjustment of a feature's
programmatically-determined end point.
endid mei:mei_data.URI optional
Indicates the final element in a sequence of events to which the feature
applies.
endto mei:mei_data.TSTAMPOFFSET optional
Records a timestamp adjustment of a feature's programmatically-determined
end point.
evaluate restriction of xs:token optional
Specifies the intended meaning when a participant in a relationship is
itself a pointer.
extender mei:mei_data.BOOLEAN optional
Indicates the presence of an extension symbol, typically a
line.
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.
ho mei:mei_data.MEASUREMENTREL 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.
label xs:string optional
Provides a name or label for an element. The value may be any
string.
layer restriction of list of xs:positiveInteger optional
Identifies the layer to which a feature applies.
lendsym mei:mei_data.LINESTARTENDSYMBOL optional
Symbol rendered at end of line.
lendsymsize mei:mei_data.LINESTARTENDSYMBOLSIZE optional

lform mei:mei_data.LINEFORM optional
Describes the line style of a line.
lstartsym mei:mei_data.LINESTARTENDSYMBOL optional
Symbol rendered at start of line.
lstartsymsize mei:mei_data.LINESTARTENDSYMBOLSIZE optional
Holds the relative size of the line-start symbol.
lwidth mei:mei_data.LINEWIDTH optional
Width of a line.
n optional
Provides a number-like designation for an element.
next restriction of list of mei:mei_data.URI optional
Used to point to the next event(s) in a user-defined
collection.
plist restriction of list of mei:mei_data.URI optional
Contains a space separated list of references that identify active
participants in a collection/relationship, such as notes under a phrase mark; that is, the
entities pointed "from".
prev restriction of list of mei:mei_data.URI optional
Points to the previous event(s) in a user-defined
collection.
sameas restriction of list of mei:mei_data.URI optional
Points to an element that is the same as the current element but is not a
literal copy of the current element.
staff restriction of list of xs:positiveInteger optional
Signifies the staff on which a notated event occurs or to which a control
event applies. Mandatory when applicable.
startho mei:mei_data.MEASUREMENTREL optional
Records the horizontal adjustment of a feature's
programmatically-determined start point.
startid mei:mei_data.URI optional
Holds a reference to the first element in a sequence of events to which
the feature applies.
startto mei:mei_data.TSTAMPOFFSET optional
Records a timestamp adjustment of a feature's programmatically-determined
start point.
subtype xs:NMTOKEN optional
Provide any sub-classification for the element, additional to that given
by its type attribute.
synch restriction of list of mei:mei_data.URI optional
Points to elements that are synchronous with the current
element.
to mei:mei_data.TSTAMPOFFSET optional
Records a timestamp adjustment of a feature's programmatically-determined
location in terms of musical time; that is, beats.
tstamp mei:mei_data.BEAT optional
Encodes the onset time in terms of musical time, i.e.,
beats[.fractional_beat_part].
tstamp.ges mei:mei_data.DURATION.gestural optional
Captures performed onset time in several forms; that is, ppq (MIDI clicks
and MusicXML 'divisions'), Humdrum **recip values, beats, seconds, or mensural duration
values.
tstamp.real mei:mei_data.ISOTIME optional
Used to record the onset time in terms of ISO time.
tstamp2 mei:mei_data.MEASUREBEAT optional
Encodes the ending point of an event in terms of musical time, i.e., a
count of measures plus a beat location.
type xs:NMTOKEN optional
Characterizes the element in some sense, using any convenient
classification scheme or typology.
vo mei:mei_data.MEASUREMENTREL 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.
when mei:mei_data.URI optional
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.
x xs:decimal 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.
xml:base mei:mei_data.URI optional
Provides a base URI reference with which applications can resolve relative
URI references into absolute URI references.
xml:id xs:ID optional
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.
y xs:decimal optional
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.
