The <degree> element

Parent element: <harmony>

The degree type is used to add, alter, or subtract individual notes in the chord. The print-object attribute can be used to keep the degree from printing separately when it has already taken into account in the text attribute of the kind element. The degree-value and degree-type text attributes specify how the value and type of the degree should be displayed.

A harmony of kind “other” can be spelled explicitly by using a series of degree elements together with a root.
