Re: [musicxml] Clarify that attack and release attributes are independent

I think we could fix this with an additional two sentences that read:

"The attack and release attributes are independent of each other. The 
attack attribute only changes the starting time of a note, and the 
release attribute only changes the stopping time of a note."

This would follow the sentence that reads "They are expressed in terms
 of divisions, either positive or negative." This would be in both the
 [note DTD 
documentation](https://github.com/w3c/musicxml/blob/d831bd2a974907c94ba8dc4e036968d79c531d2c/schema/note.mod#L64-L79)
 and the [XSD note complex-type 
documentation](https://github.com/w3c/musicxml/blob/d831bd2a974907c94ba8dc4e036968d79c531d2c/schema/musicxml.xsd#L4199).
 To clarify this paragraph, we could break it up into four: the first 
for the dynamics and end-dynamics attributes, the second for the 
attack and release attributes, and the third for the time-only 
attribute, and the fourth for the pizzicato attribute.

Suggestions for clarifying this better are most welcome!
