The system object
Type: Dictionary
The system object describes a system of notation — that is, a collection of staves that represent one or more measures across one or more parts.
This element is used in context of a "page". Each system specifies its starting measure number and can optionally specify a layout.
Keys:
| Name | Type | Required? | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id object | No | An optional layout to use for this system. If provided, this should be the ID of a system-layout object in the same MNX document. This overrides any layout specified by the parent "page" or "score" objects. |

| An array of layout change objects | No | ||
| measure number object | Yes | Specifies the starting measure in this system. This corresponds to the "index" value of the measure object. |
