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.

This attribute provides higher-resolution positioning data than the <offset> element. Applications reading a MusicXML file that can understand both features should generally rely on this attribute for its greater accuracy.

default-y tenths No Changes the computation of the default vertical position. The origin is changed relative to the top line of the staff. Positive y is up and negative y is down.

placement above-below No Indicates whether something is above or below another element, such as a note or a notation.
Indicates whether something is above or below another element, such as a note or a notation.
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.

second-beat percent No The percentage of the way through the duration for landing on the second beat. It is 25 if not specified.
The percentage of the way through the duration for landing on the second beat. It is 25 if not specified.
slash yes-no No The slash group combines elements used for more complete specification of the slash and beat-repeat measure-style elements. They have the same values as the type and dot elements, and define what the beat is for the display of repetition marks. If not present, the beat is based on the current time signature.
