How to represent muted notes?

[cecilios]

The MusicXML format always tries to distinguish between elements used for sound information and elements used for notation information.

For display, to hide a note I understand that attribute print-object="no" will do the job. But for playback, what attribute is the analogous one to print-object? In summary, how to represent a muted note?

My first idea was to use <unpitched>element but I soon discarded it as it does not imply muted.

The <cue/> element indicates a silent note. If the note is played with a mute, the <mute> element is used, though that is not yet widely supported by MusicXML applications.

Thank you!

<note>
    ...
    <play>
        <mute>off</mute>
    </play>
</note>

is what I was looking for. Thank you.
