Complex Type: metronome

Description

The metronome type represents metronome marks and other metric relationships. The beat-unit group and per-minute element specify regular metronome marks. The metronome-note and metronome-relation elements allow for the specification of more complicated metric relationships, such as swing tempo marks where two eighths are equated to a quarter note / eighth note triplet.

Content Model

Contains elements as defined in the following table.

Component	Type	Occurs	Description
		1..1
		1..1
beat-unit	note-type-value	1..1	The beat-unit element indicates the graphical note type to use in a metronome mark.
beat-unit-dot	empty	0..*	The beat-unit-dot element is used to specify any augmentation dots for a metronome mark note.
		1..1
per-minute	per-minute	1..1	The per-minute type can be a number, or a text description including numbers. If a font is specified, it overrides the font specified for the overall metronome element. This allows separate specification of a music font for the beat-unit and a text font for the numeric value, in cases where a single metronome font is not used.
		1..1
beat-unit	note-type-value	1..1	The beat-unit element indicates the graphical note type to use in a metronome mark.
beat-unit-dot	empty	0..*	The beat-unit-dot element is used to specify any augmentation dots for a metronome mark note.



		1..1
metronome-note	metronome-note	1..*	The metronome-note type defines the appearance of a note within a metric relationship mark.
		0..1
metronome-relation	xs:string	1..1	The metronome-relation element describes the relationship symbol that goes between the two sets of metronome-note elements. The currently allowed value is equals, but this may expand in future versions. If the element is empty, the equals value is used.
metronome-note	metronome-note	1..*	The metronome-note type defines the appearance of a note within a metric relationship mark.
