The <credit> element
Parent elements: <score-partwise>, <score-timewise>
The <credit> element represents the appearance of the title, composer, arranger, lyricist, copyright, dedication, and other text, symbols, and graphics that commonly appear on the first page of a score. The <credit-words>, <credit-symbol>, and <credit-image> elements are similar to the <words>, <symbol>, and <image> elements for directions. However, since the credit is not part of a measure, the default-x and default-y attributes adjust the origin relative to the bottom left-hand corner of the page. The enclosure for <credit-words> and <credit-symbol> is none if not specified.
By default, a series of <credit-words> and <credit-symbol> elements within a single <credit> element follow one another in sequence visually. Non-positional formatting attributes are carried over from the previous element by default.

| page | positiveInteger | No | Specifies the page number where the <credit> should appear. This is an integer value that starts with 1 for the first page. Its value is 1 if not specified.
