5.5.1 \stacc, \ten, \marcato, \accent
These tags indicate a staccato/tenuto/marcato/accented
articulation for a range of notes.
Call syntax:
\stacc<dx,dy,size>
\ten<dx,dy,size>
\marcato<dx,dy,size>
\accent<dx,dy,size>
Range: optional
Parameters (in the order of their default positions):
-
dx (float; optional)
- horizontal distance between
center of the note head and the center of the corresponding
articulation symbol;
if no units are specified,
the units defined by the \units
tag are used.
default value: 0
-
dy (float; optional)
- vertical distance between
center of the note head and the center of the corresponding
articulation symbol;
if no units are specified,
the units defined by the \units
tag are used.
default value: unspecified
If dy is not specified,
GUIDO notation clients should place the dynamic markings
such that collisions are avoided and the marking
occurs on the side of the notehead opposite the stem,
if a stem is present.
Remarks: (none)
-
If more than one note appear in the range,
the corresponding articulation is applied to
each individual note.
Examples:

3.3.14 \fermata
Indicates a fermata at the current metric position (for use between notes).
Parameters (in the order of their default positions):
-
beat - beats of rest during playback
-
dx - horizontal distance between center of leftmost
character and center of the following note head, in halfspaces of the current
system.
default value: 0
-
dy - vertical distance between center of the marking and
center of the following note head, in halfspaces of the current system.
default value: none (see Semantics)
-
size - of the symbol, as a factor relative to the size of
the note head.
default value: 1.0
Range: optional
Semantics:
-
If no dy value is specified, the vertical position is automatically
determined such that it is above the staff and collisions are avoided.
Remarks: (none)
Examples:
\
...
3.3.15 \grace
This tag marks notes as grace notes.
\grace<i,format>
Parameters (in the order of their default positions):
-
i - value 1/i preceeding the first note after notes.
-
format - "/" = slashed, "()" = group bracketed, "(/)"
= both
Range: optional
Semantics:
Remarks:
-
For grace notes, no durations have to be specified.
Examples:

3.3.16 \clef
This tag sets or hides clef.
\clef<type,size>
Parameters (in the order of their default positions):
-
type -"none", "g","f","c","perc" = percussion, "gg" = double
g-clef, the position within the staff ("1" for lowest line, ...,
"5" for highest line). Optionally, this can be succeeded by "+8","-8",
"+15","-15" for transposed clefs (octave or double octave up or down).
size - of the symbol, measured in haplfspaces of
the current system.
Range: (none)
Semantics:
Remarks:
-
If the staff-position is omitted, default values of "g2", "f4", "c3" are
assumed
-
For common clefs, the following synonymes can be used:
"treble" = "violino"
= "g2"
"bass" = "basso"
= "f4"
"tenor" = "c4"
"alto" = "c3"
-
Clefs can appear at the beginnig or in the middle of a voice, the latter
indicating a clef change.
Examples:

...
3.3.17 \meter
This tag sets the time signature.
Parameters (in the order of their default positions):
-
sig - of the form "n/m" for positive integers n,m.
size1 - fontsize of numerator, measured in haplfspaces
of the current system.
size2 - fonsize of denominator, measured in haplfspaces
of the current system.
Range: optional
Semantics:
Remarks:
-
Additionally, the following special time signature can be used:
"C" or "c" for
4/4 with "C" symbol
"C/" or "c/"
for 2/2 with alla breve symbol
-
The \meter tag can appear at the beginning or in the middle of a voice,
the latter indicating a change in meter
Examples:
\
..

3.3.18 \key
This tag indicates a key
\key<sig,size1,...,sizeN>
\key<name,size1,...,sizeN>
Parameters (in the order of their default positions):
Call1:
-
name - of the form "n", "n#" or "n&" for any note name
n. Uppercase and lowercase letters are used to denote major and minor modes,
respectively.
-
sizeX - fontsize of accidental number X (counting from left
to right), measured in haplfspaces of the current system
default value: size(X-1)
Call2:
-
sig - sets key signature to i sharps, if i is positive, to
|i| flats, if i is negative. For i=0, the key signature contains no sharps
or flats.
-
sizeX - fontsize of accidental number X (counting from
left to right), measured in haplfspaces of the current system.
default value: size(X-1)
Range: optional
Semantics:
Remarks:
-
The \key tag can appear at the beginning or in the middle of a voice, the
latter indicating a change in meter; Within one piece, one of the two formats
of the key-tag should be used consistently.
Examples:

3.3.19 \oct
This tag indicates the beginning of a section which is transposed upwards.
\oct<i,dy,size>
\oct<i,dx1,dy1,dx2,dy2,size>
Parameters (in the order of their default positions):
Call1:
-
transp - number of octaves for the transposition
-
dy - vertical distance between center of octave marking and
the top staffline, in halfspaces of the current system.
default value: none, see Semantics.
-
size - fontsize, measured in halfpaces of the current system.
Call2:
-
transp - number of octaves for the transposition
-
dx1 - horizontal distance between center of rightmost note
head in the group and the right end of the octave marking measured in halfspaces
of the current system.
default value: 0
-
dy1 - vertical distance between and the top staffline and
the center of the octave marking measured in halfspaces of the current
system.
default value: none, see Semantics.
-
dx2 - horizontal distance between center of rightmost note
head in the group and the right end of the octave marking measured in halfspaces
of the current system.
default value: 0
-
dy2 - vertical distance between and the top staffline and
the center of the octave marking measured in halfspaces of the current
system.
default value: none, see Semantics.
-
size - fontsize, measured in halfpaces of the current system.
Range: optional
Semantics:
-
If no dy/dy1/dy2 value is specified, the vertical position is automatically
determined such that it is above the staff and collisions are avoided.
Remarks:
-
Octave transposition does affect the notated pitches such that "\oct<+1>(c1)"
is pitch-equivalent to "c2".
-
Negative numbers i can be used to indicate downward transpositions.
-
\oct<+1> corresponds to "8va" in standard notation, \oct<-1> to "8va
bassa", \oct<+2> to "15ma" etc.
