description: The M: field indicates the meter. Apart from standard meters, e.g. M:6/8 or M:4/4, the symbols M:C and M:C| give common time (4/4) and cut time (2/2) respectively. The symbol M:none omits the meter entirely (free meter). It is also possible to specify a complex meter, e.g. M:(2+3+2)/8, to make explicit which beats should be accented. The parentheses around the numerator are optional.

description: The X: (reference number) field is used to assign to each tune within a tunebook a unique reference number (a positive integer), for example: X:23. The X: field is also used to indicate the start of the tune (and hence the tune header), so all tunes must start with an X: field and only one X: field is allowed per tune.
