staff-type |
0..1 |
|
The staff-type value can be ossia, cue, editorial, regular, or alternate. An alternate staff indicates one that shares the same musical data as the prior staff, but displayed differently (e.g., treble and bass clef, standard notation and tab).
|
staff-lines |
xs:nonNegativeInteger |
0..1 |
|
The staff-lines element specifies the number of lines for a non 5-line staff.
|
staff-tuning |
staff-tuning |
0..* |
|
The staff-tuning type specifies the open, non-capo tuning of the lines on a tablature staff.
|
capo |
xs:nonNegativeInteger |
0..1 |
|
The capo element indicates at which fret a capo should be placed on a fretted instrument. This changes the open tuning of the strings specified by staff-tuning by the specified number of half-steps.
|
staff-size |
non-negative-decimal |
0..1 |
|
The staff-size element indicates how large a staff space is on this staff, expressed as a percentage of the work's default scaling. Values less than 100 make the staff space smaller while values over 100 make the staff space larger. A staff-type of cue, ossia, or editorial implies a staff-size of less than 100, but the exact value is implementation-dependent unless specified here. Staff size affects staff height only, not the relationship of the staff to the left and right margins.
