att.beamRend

Attributes that record the visual rendition of beams.
Module
MEI.cmn
Attributes
form, place, slash, slope
form(optional)Captures whether a beam is "feathered" and in which direction. Allowed values are: "acc" (means that the secondary beams become progressively more distant toward the end of the beam.), "mixed" (for beams that are "feathered" in both directions.), "rit" (indicates that the secondary beams get progressively closer together toward the end of the beam.), "norm" (indicates that the secondary beams are equidistant along the course of the beam.)
<att.beamRend>direct children@form
place(optional)Records the placement of the beam relative to the events it affects. Value conforms to data.BEAMPLACE.
<att.beamRend>direct children@place
slash(optional)Indicates presence of slash through the beam. Value conforms to data.BOOLEAN.
<att.beamRend>direct children@slash
slope(optional)Records the slope of the beam. Value is a decimal number.

form(optional)Captures whether a beam is "feathered" and in which direction. Allowed values are: "acc" (means that the secondary beams become progressively more distant toward the end of the beam.), "mixed" (for beams that are "feathered" in both directions.), "rit" (indicates that the secondary beams get progressively closer together toward the end of the beam.), "norm" (indicates that the secondary beams are equidistant along the course of the beam.)
place(optional)Records the placement of the beam relative to the events it affects. Value conforms to data.BEAMPLACE.
slash(optional)Indicates presence of slash through the beam. Value conforms to data.BOOLEAN.
slope(optional)Records the slope of the beam. Value is a decimal number.

Constraints

Stem direction must be specified for all notes and chords under the beam.
Opposing stem directions are required for a beam with @place="mixed".
Opposing stem directions are required for a beam with @place="mixed".
