[Libmusicxml-devel] Inferring Position from MusicXML

[Arshia C. <ars...@an...>]

Hello list,

In my attempt to improve the xml2guido, I have run into a MusicXML related problem for which I have difficulties finding an answer online! So I thought I would ask here. 

Let’s take Articulations as an example. in MusicXML you can have “default-y”, “placement” and “relative-y” attributes for an articulation. The meaning of both default-y and relative-y seem to change as a function of “placement”!

Can anyone point me to a document explaining how these actually relate to each other?

My goal is to infer correct “dx”, “dy” (and “position” if available) parameters in Guido once and for all!

Thanks in advance,
