The caesura object
Type: Dictionary
Defines a caesura. Note that MNX allows caesuras to be encoded in two distinct places:
- An event. In this case, the caesura should be encoded on the event before the caesura happens — generally the event that contains note(s) that are performed directly before the caesura.
- A measure global. This is used for caesuras that are centered above barlines — i.e., not semantically associated with a specific event.
