| color | color | No | Indicates the color of an element. |
| Indicates the color of an element. | |||
| dash-length | tenths | No | The length of dashes in a dashed line. Ignored if the corresponding line-type attribute is not dashed. |
| The length of dashes in a dashed line. Ignored if the corresponding line-type attribute is not dashed. | |||
| 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.

| 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. |
