velocity – a note velocity (0-127) which gets passed along and used for playback by many applications
Inherited Methods
export_to_file
(file_path[, pretty_print])Exports this musical object (wrapped as a score) to the given file path.
Minimum divisor of a quarter note that would be needed to represent the duration of this note accurately.
Returns the number of beams needed to represent this duration.
render
()Renders this component to a tuple of ElementTree.Element.
to_xml
([pretty_print])Renders this component to MusicXML, adding a version tag, but not wrapping it up as a full score.
view_in_software
(command)Uses the given terminal command to create a score out of this musical object, and open it in music notation software.
Wraps this component in a
Score
so that it can be exported and viewedAttributes
Articulations attached to this chord.
Dictionary describing the notation of all the beams for this Chord.
Directions attached to this chord.
Subdivision used when representing this duration.
The
Duration
of this chord.Length in terms of subdivisions.
Notations attached to this chord.
Tuple of the pitches of the notes in this chord.
Either a string representing the tie state of all the notes, if all notes have the same tie state, or a tuple representing the tie state of each note individually.
True length in terms of the number of quarter notes, taking into tuplet time modification.
Whether or not this chord starts or stops a tuplet bracket.
Which voice this chord resides in.
Written length in terms of the number of quarter notes.
- property articulations
Articulations attached to this chord.
- property beams
Dictionary describing the notation of all the beams for this Chord.
- property directions
Directions attached to this chord.
- property divisions: int
Subdivision used when representing this duration.
- export_to_file(file_path: str, pretty_print: bool = True) None
Exports this musical object (wrapped as a score) to the given file path.
- Parameters:
file_path – The path of the file we want to write to.
pretty_print – If True, breaks the MusicXML onto multiple lines, with indentation
- property length_in_divisions: int
Length in terms of subdivisions. (See description of “divisions” attribute in
Duration
)
- min_denominator() int
Minimum divisor of a quarter note that would be needed to represent the duration of this note accurately. For instance, a triplet quarter note would have min_denominator 3, since it is 2/3 of a quarter.
- num_beams() int
Returns the number of beams needed to represent this duration.
- property pitches
Tuple of the pitches of the notes in this chord.
- render() Sequence[Element]
Renders this component to a tuple of ElementTree.Element. (The reason for making it a tuple is that musical objects like chords are represented by several notes side by side, with all but the first containing a </chord> tag.)
- property ties
Either a string representing the tie state of all the notes, if all notes have the same tie state, or a tuple representing the tie state of each note individually.
- to_xml(pretty_print: bool = False) str
Renders this component to MusicXML, adding a version tag, but not wrapping it up as a full score.
- Parameters:
pretty_print – If True, breaks the MusicXML onto multiple lines, with indentation
- property true_length: float
True length in terms of the number of quarter notes, taking into tuplet time modification. Returns 0 in the case of grace notes.
- property tuplet_bracket
Whether or not this chord starts or stops a tuplet bracket.
- view_in_software(command: str) None
Uses the given terminal command to create a score out of this musical object, and open it in music notation software.
- Parameters:
command – The terminal command corresponding to the software with which we want to open the score.
- property voice
Which voice this chord resides in.
- property written_length: float
Written length in terms of the number of quarter notes.
