| Name | Type | Required? | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| slur/tie end location object | No | The value of location may lie either before or after the tie’s event, or it may use the special values "incoming" or "outgoing". The handling is as follows: * If the location precedes the start of the current event, this signifies a tie starting at the given location and ending on the current note. * If the location occurs after the start of the current event, this signifies a tie starting at the current note and ending at the given location. * A value of "incoming" places the start location at a conventionally short distance before the current note, and ends on the current note. * A value of "outgoing" starts on the current note, and places the end location at a conventionally short distance after the current note. If neither target nor location is given, the effect is as if location="outgoing" was specified. |

| id object | No | The ID of a note that lies in the same part, and whose containing event begins directly after the end of the of this note’s event. The step, alteration and octave values for the target note must be identical to this one. If target is not provided, the tie does not connect to a particular destination note. In this case, the "location" attribute may be used to specify the location of the other end of the tie. |
