Type alias KindAttributes

Type declaration

• bracket-degrees: "yes" | "no" | null

  The bracket-degrees attribute is yes if all the degrees should be in a bracket. The default is implementation-dependent.

• color: string | null

  Indicates the color of an element.

• default-x: number | null

  Changes the computation of the default horizontal position. The origin is changed relative to the left-hand side of the note or the musical position within the bar. Positive x is right and negative x is left.

  This attribute provides higher-resolution positioning data than the <offset> element. Applications reading a MusicXML file that can understand both features should generally rely on this attribute for its greater accuracy.

• default-y: number | null

  Changes the computation of the default vertical position. The origin is changed relative to the top line of the staff. Positive y is up and negative y is down.

  This attribute provides higher-resolution positioning data than the placement attribute. Applications reading a MusicXML file that can understand both attributes should generally rely on this attribute for its greater accuracy.

• font-family: string | null

  A comma-separated list of font names.

• font-size: "xx-small" | "x-small" | "small" | "medium" | "large" | "x-large" | "xx-large" | number | null

  One of the CSS sizes or a numeric point size.

• font-style: "normal" | "italic" | null

  Normal or italic style.

• font-weight: "normal" | "bold" | null

  Normal or bold weight.

• halign: "left" | "center" | "right" | null

  In cases where text extends over more than one line, horizontal alignment and justify values can be different. The most typical case is for credits, such as:

  Words and music by Pat Songwriter

  Typically this type of credit is aligned to the right, so that the position information refers to the right-most part of the text. But in this example, the text is center-justified, not right-justified.

  The halign attribute is used in these situations. If it is not present, its value is the same as for the justify attribute. For elements where a justify attribute is not allowed, the default is implementation-dependent.

• parentheses-degrees: "yes" | "no" | null

  The parentheses-degrees attribute is yes if all the degrees should be in parentheses. The default is implementation-dependent.

• relative-x: number | null

  Changes the horizontal position relative to the default position, either as computed by the individual program, or as overridden by the default-x attribute. Positive x is right and negative x is left. It should be interpreted in the context of the element or directive attribute if those are present.

• relative-y: number | null

  Changes the horizontal position relative to the default position, either as computed by the individual program, or as overridden by the default-x attribute. Positive x is right and negative x is left. It should be interpreted in the context of the element or directive attribute if those are present.

• stack-degrees: "yes" | "no" | null

  If yes, the <degree> elements should be stacked above each other. The default is implementation-dependent.

• text: string | null

  Describes how the <kind> should be spelled in a score. If the use-symbols attribute is yes, this value follows the symbol. The default is implementation-dependent.

• use-symbols: "yes" | "no" | null

  The use-symbols attribute is yes if the <kind> should be represented when possible with harmony symbols rather than letters and numbers. These symbols include:

  • major: a triangle, like Unicode 25B3
  • minor: -, like Unicode 002D
  • augmented: +, like Unicode 002B
  • diminished: °, like Unicode 00B0
  • half-diminished: ø, like Unicode 00F8

  The default is implementation-dependent.

• valign: "top" | "middle" | "bottom" | "baseline" | null

  Indicates vertical alignment to the top, middle, bottom, or baseline of the text. The default is implementation-dependent.
