exclude
Type Element Description Use
    exception to repeated element content To declare which content should not be repeated.

Repeated music phrases may contain almost exactly the same content, perhaps with a deviation somewhere along its progression. The repeated phrase can be declared with the repeat attribute, while exceptions within the repeated sequence are declared with the exclude attribute. Exclusion can be declared in the same manner as a range, ie beginning with the excluded element number and ending where the exclusion ends.

Example
Markup What happens...
<div (bar(range 6:10 exclude 7)5> In this range of 5 bars (in the division) beginning with bar 6, ending with bar 10 the 7th bar is excluded.
<div (bar(range 16:30 exclude 20:22)15> In this range of 15 bars (in the division) beginning with bar 16, ending with bar 30, 3 bars (from 20 to 22) are excluded.
