<arranger>

The <arranger> element names whoever produced this particular setting of the piece.

Much of the repertoire is traditional, so a score often has no composer to name but a known arranger: the person who set it for this ensemble, expanded it to a different ชั้น, or wrote down a teacher’s version.

Parent

<header>

Content

Either plain text or up to three <text> children, one per alignment, the same content model <annotation> uses. align is required on each and accepts left, center, or right, and each alignment may appear at most once.

Plain text renders centered. That differs from <annotation>, where plain text is left-aligned, because a credit sits under the title rather than in the body of the score.

The text prints exactly as written. Nothing is prefixed or appended, so a score reading ผู้เรียบเรียง : Example Arranger is one where the arranger typed that whole string. A tool reading this as metadata takes the same text, concatenating the <text> children left to right when there are several.

Example

<header>
  <arranger>Example Arranger</arranger>
</header>

<!-- Right-aligned, with the label the arranger wants -->
<header>
  <arranger>
    <text align="right">ผู้เรียบเรียง : Example Arranger</text>
  </arranger>
</header>

Notes

• Optional. Omit it when the arranger is unknown or the question does not apply.
• Use one <arranger> element per person when several worked on the setting.
• Renders in the title band. See The title band.

Conformance

• Where an <arranger> has <text> children, they are its content and any sibling text is ignored. Validators should warn when the ignored text is not merely whitespace.
• At most one <text> child per align value.
