There are different visual representations of staff. The five parallel lines used for "standard" Western music notation is the most commonly known staff. Other configurations are possible, ranging from a single line to up to 20 lines. The staff element is used exclusively for music notation and irrelevant for music generation. The number of lines to be contained in the staff are indicated with the value of the value attribute.
