get_possible_subdivisions(beat_quarter_duration: QuarterDuration | None = None) → List[int]

QuantizeMixin method

This method is used by Beat’s quantize_quarter_durations().

Possible subdivisions dictionary can be set with set_possible_subdivisions(). Keys in the subdivisions dictionary correspond to beat quarter durations (e.g. 1, 1/2 etc.) For example if get_possible_subdivisions()[1] == [3, 5, 8] a beat with a quarter duration of 1 can after quantization consists only of eighth triplets, quintuplets and 32ths. If this dictionary is not set or beat_quarter_duration as key does not exist, the parent’s possible subdivisions dictionary will be checked.

Score has a default POSSIBLE_SUBDIVISIONS dictionary which will be used if no other musicscore node on the path from self to root has its own possible subdivisions dictionary with beat_quarter_duration as a key. For setting possible subdivisions dictionary use always set_possible_subdivisions().

Parameters:: beat_quarter_duration – Used as key in possible subdivisions dictionary. If None and self is a Beat self.quarter_duration is used. If None and self is not a Beat it is set to 1.
Returns:: A list of possible subdivisions of a Beat. This is used by beat’s quantize_quarter_durations()
Return type:: List[int]

Tree method

Returns:: root (upmost node of a tree which has no parent)
Return type:: Tree

>>> greatgrandchild1.get_root() == root
True
>>> child4.get_root() == root
True
>>> root.get_root() == root
True

get_self_with_key(key: Callable[[T], Any] | None = None) → Any

set_possible_subdivisions(subdivisions: list[int], beat_quarter_duration: QuarterDuration | None = None) → None

Parameters:

subdivisions – list of possible subdivisions to be used in musicscore.beat.Beat.quantize_quarter_durations()
