Note

Some possible values for this attribute are provided in section 8.4.2 Synchronization and Overlap. The special value normal should be used to indicate that the feature concerned ceases to be remarkable at this point. In earlier versions of these Guidelines, a null value for this attribute was understood to have the same effect: this practice is now deprecated and will be removed at a future release.

Schematron

<s:assert test="@newrole="warning">
The @new attribute should always be supplied; use the special value
"normal" to indicate that the feature concerned ceases to be
remarkable at this point.</s:assert>
Example
<u who="#LB">
 <shift feature="loudnew="f"/>Elizabeth
</u>
<u who="#EB">Yes</u>
<u who="#LB">
 <shift feature="loudnew="normal"/>Come and try this
<pause/>
 <shift feature="loudnew="ff"/>come on
</u>
<!-- ... -->
<listPerson type="speakers">
 <person xml:id="LB"/>
 <person xml:id="EB"/>
</listPerson>

The word ‘Elizabeth’ is spoken loudly, the words ‘Yes’ and ‘Come and try this’ with normal volume, and the words ‘come on’ very loudly.
