END

constexpr const Tone devices::audio::SpecialTone::END = Tone::USER0

staticconstexpr

This special tone marks the end of a melody (as a sequence of Tones).

REPEAT_START

constexpr const Tone devices::audio::SpecialTone::REPEAT_START = Tone::USER1

staticconstexpr

This special tone marks the beginning of sequence that shall be repeated later.

REPEAT_END

constexpr const Tone devices::audio::SpecialTone::REPEAT_END = Tone::USER2

staticconstexpr

This special tone marks the end of a repeating sequence (started with REPEAT_START).

The associated repeats in TonePlay has a special meaning: it indicates the number of times to repeat the sequence.

REPEAT_START

Definition at line 59 of file tone_player.h.

TIE

constexpr const Tone devices::audio::SpecialTone::TIE = Tone::USER3

staticconstexpr

This special tone marks the following notes to be tied together, ie their durations are added with no intertone delay.

The associated repeats in TonePlay indicates how many following notes shall be tied to the next; hence, in order to tie two notes, you should set repeats to 1.

According to music theory, ties are between two notes of the same pitch only; however, there is no control of this constraint.

SLUR

Definition at line 71 of file tone_player.h.

SLUR

constexpr const Tone devices::audio::SpecialTone::SLUR = TIE

staticconstexpr

This special tone marks the following notes to be slurred together, ie no intertone delay shall occur between these notes.

The associated repeats in TonePlay indicates how many following notes shall be slurred to the next; hence, in order to slur two notes, you should set repeats to 1.

According to music theory, slurs are between two notes of different pitches only; however, there is no control of this constraint. Implementation-wise, technically speaking, there is no difference between ties and slurs.
