A direction is a musical indication that is not attached to a specific note. Two or more may be combined to indicate starts and stops of wedges, dashes, etc.By default, a series of direction-type elements and a series of child elements of a direction-type within a single direction element follow one another in sequence visually. For a series of direction-type children, non-positional formatting attributes are carried over from the previous element by default.
