+Mid-measure parameter changes
+</H3>
+<P>
+The group attributes can optionally be preceded by mid-measure
+parameter changes.
+This is not used very often, but the most common
+use is to change the
+<A HREF="param.html#clef">clef</A>
+in the middle of a measure. There are two
+other parameters that can also be changed here:
+<A HREF="param.html#defoct">defoct</A>
+and
+<A HREF="param.html#release">release.</A>
+The change is enclosed in double angle brackets.
+After the opening angle bracket is the
+<A HREF="contexts.html">context</A>
+to which the changes applies (score, staff, or voice),
+followed by one or more parameter changes.
+<BR><PRE>
+1: c; e; <<score clef=bass>> 2g;
+bar
+</PRE><BR>
+<IMG SRC="mugex20.gif" ALT="Picture of Mup output"><BR>
+If there is more than one parameter listed, they are separated by semicolons.
+<BR><PRE>
+<< staff clef = tenor ; defoct = 4 >>
+</PRE><BR>
+</P>
+<P>
+If you wish to change parameters in more than one context, multiple
+angle-bracketed items can be given:
+<BR><PRE>
+2-3 2: 2c; <<score release=100>><<staff clef=alto>><<voice defoct=3>> c;
+</PRE><BR>
+</P>
+<P>
+If you specify "staff" or "voice" context, the specific staff(s) or voice(s)
+to which the changes apply is based on which staff(s) or voice(s)
+are being described on the input line. So in the example above,
+the clef is changed to alto on staffs 2 and 3, and the defoct is
+changed to 3 for voice 2 on both of those staffs. The release change
+applies to the entire score.
