The staff-type data type
The staff-type value specifies different uses for the staff.
Allowed values
Base type:xs:string
| ossia | An ossia staff represents music that can be played instead of what appears on the regular staff. |
| editorial | An editorial staff represents musical alternatives created by an editor rather than the composer. It can be used for suggested interpretations or alternatives from other sources. |
| cue | A cue staff represents music from another part. |
| alternate | An alternate staff shares the same music as the prior staff, but displayed differently (e.g., treble and bass clef, standard notation and tablature). It is not included in playback. An alternate staff provides more information to an application reading a file than encoding the same music in separate parts, so its use is preferred in this situation if feasible. |
| regular | A regular staff is the standard default staff-type. |
