The <non-arpeggiate> element
Parent element: <notations>
The <non-arpeggiate> element indicates that this <note> is at the top or bottom of a bracket indicating to not arpeggiate these notes. Since this does not involve playback, it is only used on the top or bottom notes, not on each <note> as for the <arpeggiate> element.
Content
Always empty.
Attributes
| Name | Type | Required? | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | top-bottom | Yes | Indicates whether this is the top or bottom of the symbol. |
| 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. |
| id | ID | No | Specifies an ID that is unique to the entire document. |
| number | number-level | No | Used to distinguish between two simultaneous chords bracketed separately (different numbers) or together (same number). |
| 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. |
