Simple Type: start-stop

Description

The start-stop type is used for an attribute of musical elements that can either start or stop, such as tuplets.  The values of start and stop refer to how an element appears in musical score order, not in MusicXML document order. An element with a stop attribute may precede the corresponding element with a start attribute within a MusicXML document. This is particularly common in multi-staff music. For example, the stopping point for a tuplet may appear in staff 1 before the starting point for the tuplet appears in staff 2 later in the document.
