The <notations> element

Parent element: <note>

The <notations> element collects musical notations that apply to a specific note or chord.

Multiple <notations> elements are allowed in order to represent multiple editorial levels. The print-object attribute allows <notations> to represent details of performance technique, such as fingerings, without having them appear in the score. This element is not related to the concept of XML notations.
