Suggested values include: 1] sustain; 2] soft; 3] sostenuto; 4] silent
sustain
The sustain pedal, also referred to as the "damper" pedal, allows the piano strings to vibrate sympathetically with the struck strings. It is the right-most and the most frequently used pedal on modern pianos.
soft
The soft pedal, sometimes called the "una corda", "piano", or "half-blow" pedal, reduces the volume and modifies the timbre of the piano. On the modern piano, it is the left-most pedal.
sostenuto
The sostenuto or tone-sustaining pedal allows notes already undamped to continue to ring while other notes are damped normally; that is, on their release by the fingers. This is usually the center pedal of the modern piano.
silent
The silent or practice pedal mutes the volume of the piano so that one may practice quietly. It is sometimes a replacement for the sostenuto pedal, especially on an upright or vertical instrument.
@n attribute on <measure> does not adequately capture the appearance or placement of the measure number/label.
@altsym, @glyph.name, or @glyph.num attributes may be used to specify the appropriate symbol.
lower
Starts with the written note, followed by its lower neighbor, with a return to the written note. In modern practice, this is called an "inverted mordent" and indicated by a short wavy line with a vertical line through it.
upper
Starts with the written note, followed by its upper neighbor, with a return to the principal note. In modern practice, the symbol lacks the vertical line used for the inverted form.
When set to 'true', a double or long mordent, sometimes called a "pincé double", consisting of 5 notes, is indicated.
@altsym, @glyph.name, or @glyph.num attributes may be used to specify the appropriate symbol.
lower
Begins on the note below the written note.
upper
Begins on the note above the written note.

If the chord extends further than the number of available horizontal strands (lines) above the anchorline, the entire chord is shifted downward until its top tab note is positioned on the top-most line. (Note that in German lute tablature, the lines are conceptual rather than visible).
