The

Parent element:

    <attributes>

Time signatures are represented by the element for the numerator and the element for the denominator. Multiple pairs of and elements are used for composite time signatures with multiple denominators, such as 2/4 + 3/8. A composite such as 3+2/8 requires only one / pair.

The print-object attribute allows a time signature to be specified but not printed, as is the case for excerpts from the middle of a score. The value is "yes" if not present.

    Name Type Required? Description
    color color No Indicates the color of an element.
    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.
    halign left-center-right No In cases where text extends over more than one line, horizontal alignment and justify values can be different. The most typical case is for credits, such as:Words and music by Pat SongwriterTypically this type of credit is aligned to the right, so that the position information refers to the right-most part of the text. But in this example, the text is center-justified, not right-justified.The halign attribute is used in these situations. If it is not present, its value is the same as for the justify attribute. For elements where a justify attribute is not allowed, the default is implementation-dependent.
    id ID No Specifies an ID that is unique to the entire document.
    number staff-number No Allows a time signature to apply to only the specified staff in the part. If absent, the time signature applies to all staves in the part.
    print-object yes-no No Specifies whether or not to print an object. It is yes if not specified.
    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.
    separator time-separator No Indicates how to display the arrangement between the and values in a time signature.
    symbol time-symbol No Indicates how to display a time signature, such as by using common and cut time symbols or a single number display.
    valign valign No Indicates vertical alignment to the top, middle, bottom, or baseline of the text. The default is implementation-dependent.
