	Data type entities. The ones that resolve to strings show
	intent for how data is formatted and used.
-->

<!--
	Calendar dates are represented yyyy-mm-dd format, following
	ISO 8601.
-->
<!ENTITY % yyyy-mm-dd "(#PCDATA)">

<!--
	The tenths entity is a number representing tenths of
	interline space (positive or negative) for use in
	attributes. The layout-tenths entity is the same for
	use in elements. Both integer and decimal values are 
	allowed, such as 5 for a half space and 2.5 for a 
	quarter space. Interline space is measured from the
	middle of a staff line.
-->
<!ENTITY % tenths "CDATA">
<!ENTITY % layout-tenths "(#PCDATA)">

<!--
	The start-stop and start-stop-continue entities are used 
	for musical elements that can either start or stop, such 
	as slurs, tuplets, and wedges. The start-stop-continue
	entity is used when there is a need to refer to an
	intermediate point in the symbol, as for complex slurs.
	The start-stop-single entity is used when the same
	element is used for multi-note and single-note notations,
	as for tremolos.
-->
<!ENTITY % start-stop "(start | stop)">
<!ENTITY % start-stop-continue "(start | stop | continue)">
<!ENTITY % start-stop-single "(start | stop | single)">

<!--
	The yes-no entity is used for boolean-like attributes.
-->
<!ENTITY % yes-no "(yes | no)">

<!--
	The yes-no-number entity is used for attributes that can
	be either boolean or numeric values. Values can be "yes",
	"no", or numbers.
-->
<!ENTITY % yes-no-number "NMTOKEN">

<!--
	The symbol-size entity is used to indicate full vs.
	cue-sized vs. oversized symbols. The large value
	for oversized symbols was added in version 1.1.
-->
<!ENTITY % symbol-size "(full | cue | large)">

<!--
	The up-down entity is used for arrow direction,
	indicating which way the tip is pointing.
-->
<!ENTITY % up-down "(up | down)">

<!--
	The top-bottom entity is used to indicate the top or
	bottom part of a vertical shape like non-arpeggiate.
-->
<!ENTITY % top-bottom "(top | bottom)">

<!--
	The left-right entity is used to indicate whether one
	element appears to the left or the right of another
	element.
-->
<!ENTITY % left-right "(left | right)">

<!--
	The number-of-lines entity is used to specify the
	number of lines in text decoration attributes.
-->
<!ENTITY % number-of-lines "(0 | 1 | 2 | 3)">

<!--
	Slurs, tuplets, and many other features can be
	concurrent and overlapping within a single musical
	part. The number-level attribute distinguishes up to
	six concurrent objects of the same type. A reading
	program should be prepared to handle cases where
	the number-levels stop in an arbitrary order.
	Different numbers are needed when the features
	overlap in MusicXML file order. When a number-level
	value is implied, the value is 1 by default.
-->
<!ENTITY % number-level "(1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6)">

<!--
	The MusicXML format supports six levels of beaming, up
	to 256th notes. Unlike the number-level attribute, the
	beam-level attribute identifies concurrent beams in a beam
	group. It does not distinguish overlapping beams such as
	grace notes within regular notes, or beams used in different
	voices.
-->
<!ENTITY % beam-level "(1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6)">

<!--
	Common structures for formatting attribute definitions. 
-->

<!--
	The position attributes are based on MuseData print
	suggestions. For most elements, any program will compute
	a default x and y position. The position attributes let
	this be changed two ways. 

	The default-x and default-y attributes change the
	computation of the default position. For most elements,
	the origin is changed relative to the left-hand side of
	the note or the musical position within the bar (x) and
	the top line of the staff (y).

	For the following elements, the default-x value changes
	the origin relative to the start of the current measure:

		- note
		- figured-bass
		- harmony
		- link
		- directive
		- measure-numbering
		- all descendants of the part-list element
		- all children of the direction-type element

	When the part-name and part-abbreviation elements are
	used in the print element, the default-x value changes the
	origin relative to the start of the first measure on the
	system. These values are used when the current measure or
	a succeeding measure starts a new system.

	For the note, figured-bass, and harmony elements, the
	default-x value is considered to have adjusted the musical
	position within the bar for its descendant elements.

	Since the credit-words and credit-image elements are not
	related to a measure, in these cases the default-x and
	default-y attributes adjust the origin relative to the
	bottom left-hand corner of the specified page.

	The relative-x and relative-y attributes change the position 
	relative to the default position, either as computed by the
	individual program, or as overridden by the default-x and
	default-y attributes.

	Positive x is right, negative x is left; positive y is up,
	negative y is down. All units are in tenths of interline
	space. For stems, positive relative-y lengthens a stem
	while negative relative-y shortens it.

	The default-x and default-y position attributes provide
	higher-resolution positioning data than related features
	such as the placement attribute and the offset element.
	Applications reading a MusicXML file that can understand
	both features should generally rely on the default-x and
	default-y attributes for their greater accuracy. For the
	relative-x and relative-y attributes, the offset element,
	placement attribute, and directive attribute provide
	context for the relative position information, so the two
	features should be interpreted together.

	As elsewhere in the MusicXML format, tenths are the global
	tenths defined by the scaling element, not the local tenths
	of a staff resized by the staff-size element.
-->
<!ENTITY % position
   	"default-x %tenths; #IMPLIED
	 default-y %tenths; #IMPLIED
	 relative-x %tenths; #IMPLIED
	 relative-y %tenths; #IMPLIED">

<!--
	The placement attribute indicates whether something is
	above or below another element, such as a note or a
	notation. 
-->
<!ENTITY % placement
	"placement (above | below) #IMPLIED">

<!--
	The orientation attribute indicates whether slurs and
	ties are overhand (tips down) or underhand (tips up).
	This is distinct from the placement entity used by any
	notation type.
-->
<!ENTITY % orientation
	"orientation (over | under) #IMPLIED">

<!--
	The directive entity changes the default-x position 
	of a direction. It indicates that the left-hand side of the
	direction is aligned with the left-hand side of the time
	signature. If no time signature is present, it is aligned
	with the left-hand side of the first music notational
	element in the measure. If a default-x, justify, or halign
	attribute is present, it overrides the directive entity.
-->
<!ENTITY % directive
	"directive %yes-no; #IMPLIED">

<!--
	The bezier entity is used to indicate the curvature of
	slurs and ties, representing the control points for a 
	cubic bezier curve. For ties, the bezier entity is 
	used with the tied element.

	Normal slurs, S-shaped slurs, and ties need only two 
	bezier points: one associated with the start of the slur 
	or tie, the other with the stop. Complex slurs and slurs 
	divided over system breaks can specify additional 
	bezier data at slur elements with a continue type.

	The bezier-offset, bezier-x, and bezier-y attributes
	describe the outgoing bezier point for slurs and ties 
	with a start type, and the incoming bezier point for
	slurs and ties with types of stop or continue. The 
	attributes bezier-offset2, bezier-x2, and bezier-y2 
	are only valid with slurs of type continue, and 
	describe the outgoing bezier point.

	The bezier-offset and bezier-offset2 attributes are
	measured in terms of musical divisions, like the offset
	element. These are the recommended attributes for
	specifying horizontal position. The other attributes
	are specified in tenths, relative to any position 
	settings associated with the slur or tied element.

<!--
	The font entity gathers together attributes for
	determining the font within a directive or direction.
	They are based on the text styles for Cascading
	Style Sheets. The font-family is a comma-separated list
	of font names. These can be specific font styles such
	as Maestro or Opus, or one of several generic font styles:
	music, serif, sans-serif, handwritten, cursive, fantasy,
	and monospace. The music and handwritten values refer
	to music fonts; the rest refer to text fonts. The fantasy
	style refers to decorative text such as found in older
	German-style printing. The font-style can be normal or 
	italic. The font-size can be one of the CSS sizes 
	(xx-small, x-small, small, medium, large, x-large,
	xx-large) or a numeric point size. The font-weight can 
	be normal or bold. The default is application-dependent,
	but is a text font vs. a music font.
-->
<!ENTITY % font
	"font-family CDATA #IMPLIED
	 font-style CDATA #IMPLIED
	 font-size CDATA #IMPLIED

<!--
	The color entity indicates the color of an element.
	Color may be represented as hexadecimal RGB triples,
	as in HTML, or as hexadecimal ARGB tuples, with the
	A indicating alpha of transparency. An alpha value
	of 00 is totally transparent; FF is totally opaque.
	If RGB is used, the A value is assumed to be FF. 

	For instance, the RGB value "#800080" represents
	purple. An ARGB value of "#40800080" would be a
	transparent purple.

	As in SVG 1.1, colors are defined in terms of the
	sRGB color space (IEC 61966).
-->
<!ENTITY % color
	"color CDATA #IMPLIED">

<!--
	The text-decoration entity is based on the similar
	feature in XHTML and CSS. It allows for text to
	be underlined, overlined, or struck-through. It
	extends the CSS version by allow double or
	triple lines instead of just being on or off.
-->
<!ENTITY % text-decoration
	"underline %number-of-lines; #IMPLIED
	 overline %number-of-lines; #IMPLIED
	 line-through %number-of-lines; #IMPLIED">

<!--
	The justify entity is used to indicate left, center,
	or right justification. The default value varies for
	different elements.
-->
<!ENTITY % justify
	"justify (left | center | right) #IMPLIED">

<!--
	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.
-->
<!ENTITY % halign
	"halign (left | center | right) #IMPLIED">

<!--
	The valign entity is used to indicate vertical
	alignment to the top, middle, bottom, or baseline 
	of the text. Defaults are implementation-dependent.
-->
<!ENTITY % valign
	"valign (top | middle | bottom | baseline) #IMPLIED">

<!--
	The valign-image entity is used to indicate vertical
	alignment for images and graphics, so it removes the
	baseline value. Defaults are implementation-dependent.
-->
<!ENTITY % valign-image
	"valign (top | middle | bottom) #IMPLIED">

<!--
	The letter-spacing entity specifies text tracking.
	Values are either "normal" or a number representing
	the number of ems to add between each letter. The
	number may be negative in order to subtract space.
	The default is normal, which allows flexibility of
	letter-spacing for purposes of text justification.
-->
<!ENTITY % letter-spacing
	"letter-spacing CDATA #IMPLIED">

<!--
	The line-height entity specified text leading. Values
	are either "normal" or a number representing the
	percentage of the current font height to use for 
	leading. The default is "normal". The exact normal 
	value is implementation-dependent, but values 
	between 100 and 120 are recommended.
-->
<!ENTITY % line-height
	"line-height CDATA #IMPLIED">

<!--
	The text-direction entity is used to adjust and override
	the Unicode bidirectional text algorithm, similar to the
	W3C Internationalization Tag Set recommendation. Values
	are ltr (left-to-right embed), rtl (right-to-left embed),
	lro (left-to-right bidi-override), and rlo (right-to-left
	bidi-override). The default value is ltr. This entity
	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.
-->
<!ENTITY % text-direction
	"dir (ltr | rtl | lro | rlo) #IMPLIED">

<!--
	The text-rotation entity is used to rotate text
	around the alignment point specified by the
	halign and valign entities. The value is a number
	ranging from -180 to 180. Positive values are
	clockwise rotations, while negative values are
	counter-clockwise rotations.
-->
<!ENTITY % text-rotation
	"rotation CDATA #IMPLIED">

<!--
	The print-style entity groups together the most popular
	combination of printing attributes: position, font, and
	color.
-->
<!ENTITY % print-style
	"%position;
	 %font;

<!--
	The line-shape entity is used to distinguish between
	straight and curved lines. The line-type entity
	distinguishes between solid, dashed, dotted, and
	wavy lines.
-->

	"line-shape (straight | curved) #IMPLIED">

<!ENTITY % line-type
	"line-type (solid | dashed | dotted | wavy) #IMPLIED">

<!--
	The printout entity is based on MuseData print
	suggestions. They allow a way to specify not to print
	print an object (e.g. note or rest), its augmentation
	dots, or its lyrics. This is especially useful for notes 
	that overlap in different voices, or for chord sheets
	that contain lyrics and chords but no melody. For wholly
	invisible notes, such as those providing sound-only data,
	the attribute for print-spacing may be set to no so that
	no space is left for this note. The print-spacing value
	is only used if no note, dot, or lyric is being printed.

	By default, all these attributes are set to yes. If 
	print-object is set to no, print-dot and print-lyric are
	interpreted to also be set to no if they are not present.

	The level-display entity allows specification of three 
	common ways to indicate editorial indications: putting
	parentheses or square brackets around a symbol, or making
	the symbol a different size. If not specified, they are
	left to application defaults. It is used by the level and

<!--
	The trill-sound entity includes attributes used to guide
	the sound of trills, mordents, turns, shakes, and wavy
	lines, based on MuseData sound suggestions. The default
	choices are:

		start-note = "upper"
		trill-step = "whole"
		two-note-turn = "none"
		accelerate = "no"
		beats = "4" (minimum of "2").

	Second-beat and last-beat are percentages for landing on
	the indicated beat, with defaults of 25 and 75 respectively.

	For mordent and inverted-mordent elements, the defaults
	are different:

		The default start-note is "main", not "upper".
		The default for beats is "3", not "4".
		The default for second-beat is "12", not "25".
		The default for last-beat is "24", not "75".

	The bend-sound entity is used for bend and slide elements,
	and is similar to the trill-sound. Here the beats element
	refers to the number of discrete elements (like MIDI pitch
	bends) used to represent a continuous bend or slide. The
	first-beat indicates the percentage of the direction for
	starting a bend; the last-beat the percentage for ending it.

	The document-attributes entity is used to specify the
	attributes for an entire MusicXML document. Currently
	this is used for the version attribute.

	The version attribute was added in Version 1.1 for the
	score-partwise and score-timewise documents, and in
	Version 2.0 for opus documents. It provides an easier 
	way to get version information than through the MusicXML
	public ID. The default value is 1.0 to make it possible
	for programs that handle later versions to distinguish
	earlier version files reliably. Programs that write
	MusicXML 1.1 or 2.0 files should set this attribute.

	Dynamics can be associated either with a note or a general

	of these dynamic elements. The other-dynamics element
	allows other dynamic marks that are not covered here, but
	many of those should perhaps be included in a more general
	musical direction element. Dynamics may also be combined as
	in <sf/><mp/>.

	These letter dynamic symbols are separated from crescendo,
	decrescendo, and wedge indications. Dynamic representation
	is inconsistent in scores. Many things are assumed by the
	composer and left out, such as returns to original dynamics.
	Systematic representations are quite complex: for example,
	Humdrum has at least 3 representation formats related to
	dynamics. The MusicXML format captures what is in the score,
