The <accidental-mark> element
Parent elements: <notations>, <ornaments>
An <accidental-mark> element can be used as a separate notation or as part of an ornament. When used in an ornament, position and placement are relative to the ornament, not relative to the note.

Attributes
| Name | Type | Required? | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| bracket | yes-no | No | Specifies whether or not brackets are put around a symbol for an editorial indication. If not specified, it is left to application defaults. |
| color | color | No | Indicates the color of an element. |
| default-x | tenths | No | Changes the computation of the default horizontal position. The origin is changed relative to the left-hand side of the note or the musical position within the bar. Positive x is right and negative x is left. This attribute provides higher-resolution positioning data than the <offset> element. Applications reading a MusicXML file that can understand both features should generally rely on this attribute for its greater accuracy. |
| default-y | tenths | No | Changes the computation of the default vertical position. The origin is changed relative to the top line of the staff. Positive y is up and negative y is down. This attribute provides higher-resolution positioning data than the placement attribute. Applications reading a MusicXML file that can understand both attributes should generally rely on this attribute for its greater accuracy. |
| font-family | font-family | No | A comma-separated list of font names. |
| font-size | font-size | No | One of the CSS sizes or a numeric point size. |
| font-style | font-style | No | Normal or italic style. |
| font-weight | font-weight | No | Normal or bold weight. |
| id | ID | No | Specifies an ID that is unique to the entire document. |
| parentheses | yes-no | No | Specifies whether or not parentheses are put around a symbol for an editorial indication. If not specified, it is left to application defaults. |
| placement | above-below | No | Indicates whether something is above or below another element, such as a note or a notation. |
| relative-x | tenths | No | Changes the horizontal position relative to the default position, either as computed by the individual program, or as overridden by the default-x attribute. Positive x is right and negative x is left. It should be interpreted in the context of the <offset> element or directive attribute if those are present. |
| relative-y | tenths | No | Changes the vertical position relative to the default position, either as computed by the individual program, or as overridden by the default-y attribute. Positive y is up and negative y is down. It should be interpreted in the context of the placement attribute if that is present. |
| size | symbol-size | No | Specifies the symbol size to use for an editorial indication. If not specified, it is left to application defaults. |
| smufl | smufl-accidental-glyph-name | No | References a specific Standard Music Font Layout (SMuFL) accidental glyph. This is used both with the other accidental value and for disambiguating cases where a single MusicXML accidental value could be represented by multiple SMuFL glyphs. |
