glyph-type data type

The glyph-type defines what type of glyph is being defined in a <glyph> element. Values include:

quarter-rest
g-clef-ottava-bassa
c-clef
f-clef
percussion-clef
octave-shift-up-8
octave-shift-down-8
octave-shift-continue-8
octave-shift-down-15
octave-shift-up-15
octave-shift-continue-15
octave-shift-down-22
octave-shift-up-22
octave-shift-continue-22

This is left as a string so that other application-specific types can be defined, but it is made a separate type so that it can be redefined more strictly.

A quarter-rest type specifies the glyph to use when a note has a <rest> element and a <type> value of quarter.

The c-clef, f-clef, and percussion-clef types specify the glyph to use when a clef <sign> element value is C, F, or percussion respectively.

The g-clef-ottava-bassa type specifies the glyph to use when a clef <sign> element value is G and the <clef-octave-change> element value is -1.

The octave-shift types specify the glyph to use when an <octave-shift> type attribute value is up, down, or continue and the <octave-shift> size attribute value is 8, 15, or 22.
