Attributes
| Name | Type | Required? | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| color | color | No | Indicates the color of an element. |
| dash-length | tenths | No | The length of dashes in a dashed line. Ignored if the corresponding line-type attribute is not dashed. |
| default-x | tenths | No | Changes the computation of the default horizontal position. The origin is changed relative to the left-hand side of the note or the musical position within the bar. Positive x is right and negative x is left.This attribute provides higher-resolution positioning data than the element. Applications reading a MusicXML file that can understand both features should generally rely on this attribute for its greater accuracy. |
| default-y | tenths | No | Changes the computation of the default vertical position. The origin is changed relative to the top line of the staff. Positive y is up and negative y is down.This attribute provides higher-resolution positioning data than the placement attribute. Applications reading a MusicXML file that can understand both attributes should generally rely on this attribute for its greater accuracy. |
| font-family | font-family | No | A comma-separated list of font names. |
| font-size | font-size | No | One of the CSS sizes or a numeric point size. |
| font-style | font-style | No | Normal or italic style. |
| font-weight | font-weight | No | Normal or bold weight. |
| line-length | line-length | No | Distinguishes between different line lengths for doit, falloff, plop, and scoop articulations. |
| line-shape | line-shape | No | Is the line straight or curved? |
| line-type | line-type | No | Specifies if the line is solid, dashed, dotted, or wavy. |
| placement | above-below | No | Indicates whether something is above or below another element, such as a note or a notation. |
| relative-x | tenths | No | Changes the horizontal position relative to the default position, either as computed by the individual program, or as overridden by the default-x attribute. Positive x is right and negative x is left. It should be interpreted in the context of the element or directive attribute if those are present. |
| relative-y | tenths | No | Changes the vertical position relative to the default position, either as computed by the individual program, or as overridden by the default-y attribute. Positive y is up and negative y is down. It should be interpreted in the context of the placement attribute if that is present. |
| space-length | tenths | No | The length of spaces in a dashed line. Ignored if the corresponding line-type attribute is not dashed. |
