Description
Kind indicates the type of chord. Degree elements can then add, subtract, or alter from these starting points. Since the kind element is the constant in all the harmony-chord groups that can make up a polychord, many formatting attributes are here. The alignment attributes are for the entire harmony-chord group of which this kind element is a part.

Description |
| use-symbols |
yes-no |
No |
|
The use-symbols attribute is yes if the kind should be represented when possible with harmony symbols rather than letters and numbers. These symbols include: major: a triangle, like Unicode 25B3 minor: -, like Unicode 002D augmented: +, like Unicode 002B diminished: °, like Unicode 00B0 half-diminished: ø, like Unicode 00F8. For the major-minor kind, only the minor symbol is used when use-symbols is yes. The major symbol is set using the symbol attribute in the degree-value element. The corresponding degree-alter value will usually be 0 in this case.
|
| text |
xs:token |
No |
|
The text attribute describes how the kind should be spelled in a score. If use-symbols is yes, the value of the text attribute follows the symbol.
|
| stack-degrees |
yes-no |
No |
|
The stack-degrees attribute is yes if the degree elements should be stacked above each other.
|
| parentheses-degrees |
yes-no |
No |
|
The parentheses-degrees attribute is yes if all the degrees should be in parentheses.
|
| bracket-degrees |
yes-no |
No |
|
The bracket-degrees attribute is yes if all the degrees should be in a bracket. If not specified, these values are implementation-specific.

The valign attribute is used to indicate vertical alignment to the top, middle, bottom, or baseline of the text or image. Defaults are implementation-dependent.
