The <function> element

Parent element: <harmony>

The <function> element represents classical functional harmony with an indication like I, II, III rather than C, D, E. It represents the Roman numeral part of a functional harmony rather than the complete function itself. It has been deprecated as of MusicXML 4.0 in favor of the <numeral> element.

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. 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.
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.
