The <other-articulation> element

Parent element: <articulations>

The <other-articulation> element is used to define any articulations not yet in the MusicXML format. The smufl attribute can be used to specify a particular articulation, allowing application interoperability without requiring every Standard Music Font Layout (SMuFL) articulation to have a MusicXML element equivalent. Using the <other-articulation> element without the smufl attribute allows for extended representation, though without application interoperability.

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.

placementabove-belowNoIndicates whether something is above or below another element, such as a note or a notation.
Indicates whether something is above or below another element, such as a note or a notation.
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.

smuflsmufl-glyph-nameNoIndicates a particular Standard Music Font Layout (SMuFL) character using its canonical glyph name. Sometimes this is a formatting choice, and sometimes this is a refinement of the semantic meaning of an element.
