Detailed Description

Beam types include begin, continue, end, forward hook, and backward hook. In MuseData, up to six concurrent beams are available to cover up to 256th notes. This seems sufficient so we use an enumerated type defined in common.dtd. The repeater attribute needs to be specified with a "yes" value for each beam using it.
The MusicXML beam element as defined in note.dtd.
