Note Symbol Characteristics

The size of the symbol is determined by the size of the text. A height tolerance factor (>1) expressed in text height units is used to determine the space above and below the text. A factor of 1.5 means that the space below and above the text is equal to 0.25 * (text height). A width tolerance factor expressed in text height units is used to determine the space before and after the text. A factor of 0.5 means that the space before and after the text is 0.5 * (text height). Both these factors can be changed. The definition of a note symbol consists of:

• Symbol number

• Symbol layout

• First end second connection points (may be identical) where to connect the symbol to the reference line (connection code irrelevant).

• First end second text position where the beginning of the text is to be positioned (text position code irrelevant).

The definition of a start/end symbol of a note consists of:

• Symbol number

• Symbol layout

• First connection point where to connect the reference line (connection code irrelevant).

• Second and third connection points where to attach the lines connecting the start and the end symbols of the note.

• First text position where the beginning of the text is to be positioned (text position code irrelevant).
