MusicXML:Element:note

Notes are the most common type of MusicXML data.

The MusicXML format distinguishes between elements used for sound information and elements used for notation information (e.g. <tie> is used for sound and <tied> for notation).

Thus grace notes do not have a <duration> element.

Cue notes have a <duration> element, as do <forward> elements, but no <tie> elements.

Having these two types of information available can make interchange easier, as some programs handle one type of information more readily than the other.
