Attributes

NameTypeRequired?(Default)Description
colorcolorNoIndicates the color of an element.
Indicates the color of an element.
default-xtenthsNoChanges 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-ytenthsNoChanges 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-sizefont-sizeNoOne of the CSS sizes or a numeric point size.

font-stylefont-styleNoNormal or italic style.
Normal or italic style.
font-weightfont-weightNoNormal or bold weight.
Normal or bold weight.
halignleft-center-rightNoIn 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.

idxs:IDNoSpecifies an ID that is unique to the entire document.
Specifies an ID that is unique to the entire document.
relative-xtenthsNoChanges 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 <offset> element or directive attribute if those are present.

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