mm, mm.dots, mm.unit

mm(optional)Used to describe tempo in terms of beats (often the meter signature denominator) per minute, ala M.M. (Maelzel’s Metronome). Do not confuse this attribute with midi.bpm or midi.mspb. In MIDI, a beat is always defined as a quarter note, *not the numerator of the time signature or the metronomic indication*. Value conforms to data.TEMPOVALUE.

mm.dots(optional)Records the number of augmentation dots required by a dotted metronome unit. Value conforms to data.AUGMENTDOT.

mm.unit(optional)Captures the metronomic unit. Value conforms to data.DURATION.
