| 13 | Rolls |
| 14 | </H2> |
| 15 | <P> |
| 16 | Rolls can be specified with the "roll" statement, which has a format: |
| 17 | <BR><PRE> |
| 18 | <B>roll</B> <I>staff voice</I> <B>:</B> <I>timeval</I><B>;</B> |
| 19 | </PRE><BR> |
| 20 | </P> |
| 21 | <P> |
| 22 | A simple example would be: |
| 23 | <BR><PRE> |
| 24 | roll 2 1: 3; |
| 25 | </PRE><BR> |
| 26 | which indicates that a roll is to be placed on the chord at count 3 of |
| 27 | staff 2 voice 1. |
| 28 | As usual, if the <I>voice</I> is omitted, voice 1 is assumed. |
| 29 | </P> |
| 30 | <P> |
| 31 | Multiple rolls in a measure can be listed on a single statement if they are |
| 32 | associated with the same voice. For example: |
| 33 | <BR><PRE> |
| 34 | 1: ceg;dfa;egb;fac+; |
| 35 | // rolls on 3 chords: on the first, |
| 36 | // second, and third beats of the measure |
| 37 | roll 1: 1;2;3; |
| 38 | bar |
| 39 | </PRE><BR> |
| 40 | <IMG SRC="mugex78.gif" ALT="Picture of Mup output"><BR> |
| 41 | would produce rolls on the chords on counts 1, 2, and 3. |
| 42 | </P> |
| 43 | <P> |
| 44 | A roll can extend over several chords on different voices, or even |
| 45 | different staffs. This is specified |
| 46 | by giving the top and bottom staffs and voices, with the keyword "to" |
| 47 | between them. For example: |
| 48 | <BR><PRE> |
| 49 | 1: 4.r;8g+b+d++ tie;2; |
| 50 | 2-3: 4.ceg;8gbd+ tie;2; |
| 51 | roll 1 1 to 3 1: 2.5; |
| 52 | bar |
| 53 | </PRE><BR> |
| 54 | <IMG SRC="mugex79.gif" ALT="Picture of Mup output"><BR> |
| 55 | The roll would extend from voice 1 of staff 1 to voice 1 of staff 3. |
| 56 | </P> |
| 57 | <P> |
| 58 | If you wish the roll to be downward, the keyword "down" can be placed |
| 59 | after "roll." This will result in a downward arrow being drawn on the |
| 60 | bottom end of the roll. |

| 74 | <P> |
| 75 | You can also explicitly say "up" which will cause an upward arrow to be |
| 76 | drawn at the top of the roll. If no direction is specified, no arrow is drawn. |
