The location may include staff lines, spaces, and the spaces directly above and below the staff. The value ranges between 0 (just below the staff) to 2 * number of staff lines (directly above the staff). For example, on a 5-line staff the lines would be numbered 1,3,5,7, and 9 while the spaces would be numbered 0,2,4,6,8,10. For example, a value of '9' puts the bar line through the top line of a 5-line staff. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Indicates that this event is "under a beam". + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + In the case of cross-staff beams, the beam.with attribute is used to indicate which staff the beam is connected to; that is, the staff above or the staff below. + + + + + + + + + + + + Provides an example of how automated beaming (including secondary beams) is to be performed. + + + + + + + + Indicates whether automatically-drawn beams should include rests shorter than a quarter note duration. + + + + + + + + + + + + + Color of beams, including those associated with tuplets. + + + + + + + + Encodes whether a beam is "feathered" and in which direction. + + acc + Beam lines grow farther apart from left to right. + rit + Beam lines grow closer together from left to right. + norm + Beam lines are equally-spaced over the entire length of the beam. + + + + + + + + Captures beam slope. + + + + + + + + + + + + Captures whether a beam is "feathered" and in which direction. + + acc + (accelerando) indicates that the secondary beams get progressively closer together toward the end of the beam. + mixed + (mixed acc and rit) for beams that are "feathered" in both directions. + rit + (ritardando) means that the secondary beams become progressively more distant toward the end of the beam. + norm + (normal) indicates that the secondary beams are equidistant along the course of the beam. + + + + + + + + Records the slope of the beam. + + + + + + + + + + + Presence of this attribute indicates that the secondary beam should be broken following this note/chord.

When a single beat is repeated, consisting of a single note or chord, it is indicated by a single thick, slanting slash; therefore, the value '1' should be used. The following values should be used when the beat is divided into even notes: 4ths or 8ths=1, 16ths=2, 32nds=3, 64ths=4, 128ths=5. When the beat is comprised of mixed duration values, the symbol is always rendered as 2 slashes and 2 dots. + + + + + + + + + + + + + Records the amount of detuning.
