Content Model

Contains elements as defined in the following table.

Component	Type	Occurs	Description
		1..1
left-margin	tenths	1..1	The left-right-margins group specifies horizontal margins in tenths.
right-margin	tenths	1..1	The left-right-margins group specifies horizontal margins in tenths.
top-margin	tenths	1..1
bottom-margin	tenths	1..1	Margins, page sizes, and distances are all measured in tenths to keep MusicXML data in a consistent coordinate system as much as possible. The translation to absolute units is done in the scaling element, which specifies how many millimeters are equal to how many tenths. For a staff height of 7 mm, millimeters would be set to 7 while tenths is set to 40. The ability to set a formula rather than a single scaling factor helps avoid roundoff errors.
