pymusicxml.spanners.StartSlur

class pymusicxml.spanners.StartSlur(label: Any = 1)[source]

Notation to attach to a note that starts a slur

Parameters:: label – each spanner is given an label to distinguish it from other spanners of the same type. In the MusicXML standard, this is a number from 1 to 6, but in pymusicxml it is allowed to be anything (including, for instance, a string). These labels are then converted to numbers on export.

Methods

Renders this component to a tuple of ElementTree.Element.

Inherited Methods

`export_to_file`(file_path[, pretty_print])	Exports this musical object (wrapped as a score) to the given file path.
`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.
`wrap_as_score`()	Wraps this component in a `Score` so that it can be exported and viewed

Attributes

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

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

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.

wrap_as_score() → Score: Wraps this component in a Score so that it can be exported and viewed

render() → Sequence[Element][source]: 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.)
