The accidental-value data type
The accidental-value type represents notated accidentals supported by MusicXML. In the MusicXML 2.0 DTD this was a string with values that could be included. The XSD strengthens the data typing to an enumerated list. The quarter- and three-quarters- accidentals are Tartini-style quarter-tone accidentals. The -down and -up accidentals are quarter-tone accidentals that include arrows pointing down or up. The slash- accidentals are used in Turkish classical music. The numbered sharp and flat accidentals are superscripted versions of the accidental signs, used in Turkish folk music. The sori and koron accidentals are microtonal sharp and flat accidentals used in Iranian and Persian music. The other accidental covers accidentals other than those listed here. It is usually used in combination with the smufl attribute to specify a particular SMuFL accidental. The smufl attribute may be used with any accidental value to help specify the appearance of symbols that share the same MusicXML semantics.
