1.2.10. Cluster Node
The Cluster is a container of Note nodes, and MAIDENS' portmanteau for the rests, notes and chords from music theory. The way a Cluster is rendered in the score depends on the number of Note nodes it contains:
- an empty Cluster is shown as a rest;
- a Cluster with one Note child is displayed as a note;
- a Cluster containing several Notes becomes a chord.
In the Editor, you can set the musical Duration to use, whether to augment it using a Dot, and whether to Begin a tuplet on the current Cluster. Tuplets are expressed in the form: "put that many beats of this duration in place of that many beats (of the same duration)". For instance, for an eights triplet you would use 3, eights and 2.
