Directions
A direction is a discrete instruction in the score that applies to notes and rests.
direction ::= (dir [width]dirType
* ) dirType ::= {metronome
|text
|line
|lyric
}
To set the tempo in playback without printing anything on the score, make the metronome
marking invisible by using a noVisible
option.
The parenthesis
option is for enclosing the metronome mark between parenthesis.
Examples:
(score (vers 2.0) (instrument (musicData
(clef G)(key C)(time 2 4)
(metronome q 60) // quarter-note = 60
(n e4 q)(n g4 q)(barline)
(metronome q q.) // quarter-note = dotted-quarter-note
(n e4 q)(n g4 q)(barline)
(metronome 60) // m.m. = 60
(n e4 q)(n g4 q)(barline)
(metronome q 60 parenthesis) // (quarter-note = 60)
(n e4 q)(n g4 q)(barline)
(metronome q 60 noVisible) // nothing displayed
(n e4 q)(n g4 q)(barline end)
