tenths data type
The tenths type is a number representing tenths of interline staff space (positive or negative). Both integer and decimal values are allowed, such as 5 for a half space and 2.5 for a quarter space. Interline space is measured from the middle of a staff line.
Distances in a MusicXML file are measured in tenths of staff space. Tenths are then scaled to millimeters within the scaling element, used in the defaults element at the start of a score. Individual staves can apply a scaling factor to adjust staff size.
When a MusicXML element or attribute refers to tenths, it means the global tenths defined by the <scaling> element, not the local tenths as adjusted by the <staff-size> element.
Base type: decimal
