durationclj

(duration & components)

Combines a variable number of tied note-lengths into one.

Note-lengths can be expressed in beats or milliseconds. This distinction is made via the :type key in the map. The number of beats/milliseconds is provided via the :value key in the map.

e.g. (note-length 1) => {:type :beats, :value 4} (ms 4000) => {:type :milliseconds, :value 4000}

To preserve backwards compatibility, a note-length expressed as a simple number (not wrapped in a map) is interpreted as a number of beats.

Barlines can be inserted inside of a duration -- these currently serve a purpose in the parse tree only, and evaluate to nil in alda.lisp. This function ignores barlines by removing the nils.

Returns a map containing the total number of beats (counting only those note-lengths that are expressed in standard musical notation) and the total number of milliseconds (counting only those note-lengths expressed in milliseconds).

This information is used by events (like notes and rests) to calculate the total duration in milliseconds (as this depends on the score's time-scaling factor and the tempo of the instrument the event belongs to).

By default, the score remains in 'voice mode' until it reaches an end-voices event. This is so that if an instrument part ends with a voice group, the same voices can be appended later if the part is resumed, e.g. when building a score gradually in the Alda REPL or in a Clojure process.

The end-voices event is emitted by the parser when it parses 'V0:'.
