Complex Type: measure-style

Description

A measure-style indicates a special way to print partial to multiple measures within a part. This includes multiple rests over several measures, repeats of beats, single, or multiple measures, and use of slash notation. The multiple-rest and measure-repeat symbols indicate the number of measures covered in the element content. The beat-repeat and slash elements can cover partial measures. All but the multiple-rest element use a type attribute to indicate starting and stopping the use of the style.

Content Model

Contains elements as defined in the following table.

Component	Type	Occurs	Description
		1..1
beat-repeat	beat-repeat	1..1	The beat-repeat type is used to indicate that a single beat (but possibly many notes) is repeated. Both the start and stop of the beat being repeated should be specified. The beat-repeat element specifies a notation style for repetitions. The actual music being repeated needs to be repeated within the MusicXML file. This element specifies the notation that indicates the repeat.
measure-repeat	measure-repeat	1..1	The measure-repeat type is used for both single and multiple measure repeats. The text of the element indicates the number of measures to be repeated in a single pattern. Both the start and the stop of the measure-repeat must be specified. The text of the element is ignored when the type is stop. The measure-repeat element specifies a notation style for repetitions. The actual music being repeated needs to be repeated within the MusicXML file. This element specifies the notation that indicates the repeat.
multiple-rest	multiple-rest	1..1	The text of the multiple-rest type indicates the number of measures in the multiple rest. Multiple rests may use the 1-bar / 2-bar / 4-bar rest symbols, or a single shape. The element text is ignored when the type is stop.
slash	slash	1..1	The slash type is used to indicate that slash notation is to be used.

        <xsd:documentation>The measure-repeat type is used for both single and multiple measure repeats. The text of the element indicates the number of measures to be repeated in a single pattern. The slashes attribute specifies the number of slashes to use in the repeat sign. It is 1 if not specified. Both the start and the stop of the measure-repeat must be specified.

        <xsd:documentation>The beat-repeat type is used to indicate that a single beat (but possibly many notes) is repeated. Both the start and stop of the beat being repeated should be specified. The slashes attribute specifies the number of slashes to use in the symbol. The use-dots attribute indicates whether or not to use dots as well (for instance, with mixed rhythm patterns). By default, the value for slashes is 1 and the value for use-dots is no.
The beat-repeat element specifies a notation style for repetitions. The actual music being repeated needs to be repeated within the MusicXML file. This element specifies the notation that indicates the repeat.</xsd:documentation>

    <xs:element name="slash" type="slash">
      <xsd:annotation>
        <xsd:documentation>The slash type is used to indicate that slash notation is to be used. If the slash is on every beat, use-stems is no (the default). To indicate rhythms but not pitches, use-stems is set to yes. The type attribute indicates whether this is the start or stop of a slash notation style. The use-dots attribute works as for the beat-repeat element, and only has effect if use-stems is no.</xsd:documentation>
