The note component DTD contains the note representations
for MusicXML. This section of the DTD can then be used
within a partwise or timewise MusicXML score. This DTD
contains the note element, all its children elements,
and related entities.

<!-- Entities -->
<!-- Structures -->
<!--
The common note elements between cue/grace notes and
regular (full) notes: pitch, chord, and rest information,
but not duration (cue and grace notes do not have
duration encoded here). Unpitched elements are used for
unpitched percussion, speaking voice, and other musical
elements lacking determinate pitch.

<!-- Elements -->
<!--
Notes are the most common type of MusicXML data. MusicXML
keeps the MuseData distinction between elements used for
sound information and element used for notation
information (e.g., tie is used for sound, tied for
notation). Thus grace notes do not have a duration
element. Cue notes have a duration element, as do forward
elements, but no tie elements. Having these two types of
information available can make interchange considerably
easier, as some programs handle one type of information
much more readily than the other.

The position and printout entities for printing
suggestions are defined in common.dtd.
The dynamics and end-dynamics attributes reflect MIDI's
Note On and Note Off velocities, respectively. They are
expressed in terms of percentages of a standard MIDI
forte volume of 90. The attack and release attributes
are used to alter the staring and stopping time of the
note from when it would otherwise occur based on the
flow of durations - information that is specific to a
performance. They are expressed in terms of divisions,
either positive or negative. If a note is played only
one time through a repeat, the time-only attribute
shows which time to play the note. The pizzicato
attribute is used when just this note is sounded
pizzicato, vs. the pizzicato and arco elements.

Pitch is represented as a combination of the step of the
diatonic scale, the chromatic alteration, and the octave.
The step element uses the English letters A through G.
The alter element represents chromatic alteration in
number of semitones (e.g., -1 for flat, 1 for sharp).
Decimal values like 0.5 (quarter tone sharp) may be
used for microtones. The octave element is represented
by the numbers 0 to 9, where 4 indicates the octave
started by middle C.

<!--
The cue and grace elements indicate the presence of
cue and grace notes. The slash attribute for a grace
note is yes for slashed eighth notes. The other grace
note attributes come from MuseData sound suggestions.
Steal-time-previous indicates the percentage of time
to steal from the previous note for the grace note.
Steal-time-following indicates the percentage of time
to steal from the following note for the grace note.
Make-time indicates to make time, not steal time; the
units are in real-time divisions for the grace note.

The chord element indicates that this note is an
additional chord tone with the preceding note. The
duration of this note can be no longer than the preceding
note. In MuseData, a missing duration indicates the same
length as the preceding note, but here we require the
duration for chord records too.
-->
<!ELEMENT chord EMPTY>
<!--
The unpitched element indicates musical elements that are
notated on the staff but lack definite pitch, such as
unpitched percussion and speaking voice. Like notes, it
uses step and octave elements to indicate placement on
the staff, following the current clef. If percussion clef
is used, the display-step and display-octave are
interpreted as if in treble clef, with a G in octave 4
on line 2. If not present, the note is placed on the
middle line of the staff, generally used for one-line
staffs.

The rest element indicates notated rests or silences.
Rest are usually empty, but placement on the staff can
be specified using display-step and display-octave
elements.
-->
<!ELEMENT rest ((display-step, display-octave)?)>
<!--
Duration is specified in division units. This is the
intended duration vs. notated duration (for instance,
swing eighths vs. even eighths, or differences in dotted
notes in Baroque-era music). Differences in duration
specific to an interpretation or performance should use
the note element's attack and release attributes. The
tie element indicates that a tie begins or ends with
this note. The tie element indicates sound; the tied
element indicates notation.

Time modification indicates tuplets and other
durational changes. The actual-notes element describes
how many notes are played in the time usually occupied
by the number of normal-notes. If the normal-notes type
is different than the current note type (e.g., a
quarter note within an eighth note triplet), then the
normal-notes type (e.g. eighth) is specified in the
normal-type and normal-dot elements.

Stems can be down, up, none, or double. For down and up
stems, the position attributes can be used to specify
stem length. The relative values specify the end of the
stem relative to the program default. Default values

relative-y that would flip a stem instead of shortening
it are ignored.

The notehead element indicates shapes other than the open
and closed ovals associated with note durations. The element
value can be slash, triangle, diamond, square, cross, x,
circle-x, inverted triangle, arrow down, arrow up, slashed,
back slashed, normal, or none. For shape note music, the
element values do, re, mi, fa, so, la, and ti are used,
corresponding to Aikin's 7-shape system.
The arrow shapes differ from triangle and inverted triangle
by being centered on the stem. Slashed and back slashed
notes include both the normal notehead and a slash. The
triangle shape has the tip of the triangle pointing up;
the inverted triangle shape has the tip of the triangle
pointing down.
For the enclosed shapes, the default is to be hollow for
half notes and longer, and filled otherwise. The filled
attribute can be set to change this if needed.
If the parentheses attribute is set to yes, the notehead
is parenthesized. It is no by default.

Beam types include begin, continue, end, forward hook,
and backward hook. In MuseData, up to six concurrent
beams are available to cover up to 256th notes. This
seems sufficient so we use an enumerated type defined
in common.dtd. The repeater attribute, used for tremolos,
needs to be specified with a "yes" value for each beam
using it. Beams that have a begin value can also have
a fan attribute to indicate accelerandos and ritardandos
using fanned beams. The fan attribute may also be used
with a continue value if the fanning direction changes
on that note. The value is "none" if not specified.
Note that the beam number does not distinguish sets
of beams that overlap, as it does for slur and other
elements. Beaming groups are distinguished by
being in different voices and/or the presence or
absence of grace and cue elements.

A tuplet element is present when a tuplet is to be
displayed graphically, in addition to the sound data
provided by the time-modification elements. The number
attribute is used to distinguish nested tuplets. The
bracket attribute is used to indicate the presence of a
bracket. If unspecified, the results are implementation-
dependent. The line-shape attribute is used to specify
whether the bracket is straight or in the older curved
or slurred style. It is straight by default.
Whereas a time-modification element shows how the
cumulative, sounding effect of tuplets compare to
the written note type, the tuplet element describes
how this is displayed. The tuplet-actual and
tuplet-normal elements provide optional full control
over tuplet specifications. Each allows the number
and note type (including dots) describing a single
tuplet. If any of these elements are absent, their
values are based on the time-modification element.
The show-number attribute is used to display either
the number of actual notes, the number of both actual
and normal notes, or neither. It is actual by default.
The show-type attribute is used to display either the
actual type, both the actual and normal types, or
neither. It is none by default.

Glissando and slide elements both indicate rapidly
moving from one pitch to the other so that individual
notes are not discerned. The distinction is similar
to that between NIFF's glissando and portamento
elements. A glissando sounds the half notes in
between the slide and defaults to a wavy line. A
slide is continuous between two notes and defaults
to a solid line. The optional text for a glissando
or slide is printed alongside the line.

While using repeater beams is the preferred
method for indicating tremolos, often playback

an application to make that feasible, especially
for single-note tremolos. The tremolo ornament

Figured bass elements take their position from the first
regular note that follows. Figures are ordered from top to
bottom. A figure-number is a number. Values for prefix and
suffix include the accidental values sharp, flat, natural,
double-sharp, flat-flat, and sharp-sharp. Suffixes include
both symbols that come after the figure number and those
that overstrike the figure number. The suffix value slash
is used for slashed numbers indicating chromatic alteration.
The orientation and display of the slash usually depends on
the figure number. The prefix and suffix elements may
contain additional values for symbols specific to particular
figured bass styles. The value of parentheses is "no" if not
present.

Backup and forward are required to coordinate multiple
voices in one part, including music on multiple staves.
Forward is generally used within voices and staves,
while backup to move between voices and staves. Thus
the backup element does not include voice or staff
elements. Duration values should always be positive,
and should not cross measure boundaries.
