The <instrument> element

Parent element: <note>

The instrument type distinguishes between score-instrument elements in a score-part. The id attribute is an IDREF back to the score-instrument ID. If multiple score-instruments are specified in a score-part, there should be an instrument element for each note in the part. Notes that are shared between multiple score-instruments can have more than one instrument element.
