Attribute ClassesThese class-based attributes use data.MEASUREBEAT

att.timestamp2.ges/@tstamp2.gesEncodes the ending point of an event, i.e., a count of measures plus a beat location in the ending measure.

att.origin.timestamp.log/@origin.tstamp2encodes the ending point of musical material in terms of musical time, i.e., a count of measures plus a beat location. The values are relative to the measure identified by origin.tstamp.

att.timestamp2.log/@tstamp2Encodes the ending point of an event, i.e., a count of measures plus a beat location in the ending measure.

Declaration


                                 <macroSpec ident="data.MEASUREBEAT" module="MEI" type="dt">

                                       <abbr>i.e.</abbr>, [0-9]+m *\+ *[0-9]+(\.?[0-9]*)?. The
                                       measure count is the number of bar lines crossed by the event, while the beat location
                                       is a
                                       timestamp expressed as a beat with an optional fractional part. For example, "1m+3.5"
                                       indicates a point in the next measure on the second half of beat 3. The measure number
                                       must be
                                       in the range of 0 to the number of remaining measures, while the beat number must
                                       be in the
                                       range from 0 to the numerator of the time signature plus 1. For example, in 6/8 the
                                       beat
                                       number must be within the range from 0 (the left bar line) to 7 (the right bar line).
                                       A value
                                       with a measure number of "0", such as "0m+2", indicates a point within the current
                                       measure.</desc>
