Element arpeggio is used to realize an arpeggio on a number of given noteheads.

Attributes

shape, a mandatory attribute that defines the graphical appearance of the sign. The value "no_arpeggio" is often graphically rendered by a square bracket.
direction, an attribute that fixes the direction for the performance of the arpeggio.

Element notehead_ref is used to define which notes should be affected by the symbol. Thanks to this method, it is possible to join notes coming from different chords.

Attributes

event_ref, a mandatory attribute that identifies the spine event corresponding to the current notehead.
