Parent elements: <measure> (partwise), <part> (timewise)
The <attributes> element contains musical information that typically changes on measure boundaries. This includes key and time signatures, clefs, transpositions, and staving. When attributes are changed mid-measure, it affects the music in score order, not in MusicXML document order.
