Attributes

Name	Type	Required?	Description
color	color	No	Indicates the color of an element.
default-x	tenths	No	Changes the computation of the default horizontal position. If the parent is a <notehead-text> element, the origin is changed relative to the left-hand side of the note or the musical position within the bar. Otherwise, the origin is changed relative to the start of the first measure on the system, and these values are used when the current measure or a succeeding measure starts a new system. Positive x is right and negative x is left.
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.
dir	text-direction	No	The text-direction attribute is used to adjust and override the Unicode bidirectional text algorithm, similar to the Directionality data category in the W3C Internationalization Tag Set recommendation. The default value is ltr. This attribute is typically used by applications that store text in left-to-right visual order rather than logical order. Such applications can use the lro value to better communicate with other applications that more fully support bidirectional text.
enclosure	enclosure-shape	No	Formatting of an enclosure around text or symbols.
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.
halign	left-center-right	No	In cases where text extends over more than one line, horizontal alignment and justify values can be different. The most typical case is for credits, such as: Words and music by Pat Songwriter Typically this type of credit is aligned to the right, so that the position information refers to the right-most part of the text. But in this example, the text is center-justified, not right-justified. The halign attribute is used in these situations. If it is not present, its value is the same as for the justify attribute. For elements where a justify attribute is not allowed, the default is implementation-dependent.
justify	left-center-right	No	Indicates left, center, or right justification. The default value varies for different elements. For elements where the justify attribute is present but the halign attribute is not, the justify attribute indicates horizontal alignment as well as justification.
letter-spacing	number-or-normal	No	Specifies text tracking. Values are either normal, which allows flexibility of letter-spacing for purposes of text justification. or a number representing the number of ems to add between each letter. The number may be negative in order to subtract space. The value is normal if not specified.
line-height	number-or-normal	No	Specifies text leading. Values are either normal or a number representing the percentage of the current font height to use for leading. It is normal if not specified. The exact normal value is implementation-dependent, but values between 100 and 120 are recommended.
line-through	number-of-lines	No	Number of lines to use when striking through text.
overline	number-of-lines	No	Number of lines to use when overlining text.
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.
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.
rotation	rotation-degrees	No	Used to rotate text around the alignment point specified by the halign and valign attributes. Positive values are clockwise rotations, while negative values are counter-clockwise rotations.
underline	number-of-lines	No	Number of lines to use when underlining text.
valign	valign	No	Indicates vertical alignment to the top, middle, bottom, or baseline of the text. The default is implementation-dependent.
xml:lang	xml:lang	No	Specifies the language used in the element content. It is Italian ("it") if not specified.
xml:space	xml:space	No	Indicates whether white space should be preserved by applications.
