Simple Type: notehead-value

Description

The notehead type indicates shapes other than the open and closed ovals associated with note durations. The values do, re, mi, fa, fa up, so, la, and ti correspond to Aikin's 7-shape system. The fa up shape is typically used with upstems; the fa shape is typically used with downstems or no stems.  The arrow shapes differ from triangle and inverted triangle by being centered on the stem. Slashed and back slashed notes include both the normal notehead and a slash. The triangle shape has the tip of the triangle pointing up; the inverted triangle shape has the tip of the triangle pointing down. The left triangle shape is a right triangle with the hypotenuse facing up and to the left.
