EventSymbol

class maelzel.core.symbols.EventSymbol(color='', placement='', noMergeNext=False)

Bases: Symbol

Base-class for all event-attached symbols

These are symbols attached to one event (note, chord, rest, clip, …). The color and placement attributes do not apply for all symbols of this kind but we include it at this level to make the structure simpler

Parameters:

• color (str) – The color of the symbol.

• placement (str) – The placement of the symbol. One of ‘above’, ‘below’ or ‘’ to use the default placement

• noMergeNext – if True, do not allow an event with this symbol to be merged with another event
