The <bend> element
Parent element: <technical>
The bend type is used in guitar notation and tablature. A single note with a bend and release will contain two bend elements: the first to represent the bend and the second to represent the release. The shape attribute distinguishes between the angled bend symbols commonly used in standard notation and the curved bend symbols commonly used in both tablature and standard notation.
