| 13 | Phrase marks | |

| 15 | <P> | |
| 16 | If there is only one voice, specifying <I>place</I> for a phrase just tells | |
| 17 | Mup where to draw the phrase mark. If there are | |
| 18 | <A HREF="param.html#vscheme">two or more voices,</A> | |
| 19 | and a <I>place</I> is specified, "above" | |
| 20 | indicates to Mup that the phrase is associated with voice 1, | |
| 21 | and "below" indicates to Mup that the phrase is associated with voice 2. | |
| 22 | </P> | |
| 23 | <P> | |
| 24 | If no <I>place</I> is specified and there is only one voice with notes, | |
| 25 | Mup will decide which side would be better based on the musical data. | |
| 26 | This means the phrase mark may come out above or below. | |
| 27 | In the case where there are two voices and | |
| 28 | there are notes present in both voices, phrase marks will be drawn both | |
| 29 | above and below. | |
| 30 | </P> | |
| 31 | <P> | |
| 32 | Each phrase statement item must include a begintime and duration. | |
| 33 | A phrase mark must begin and end on a chord, so Mup first takes the begintime | |
| 34 | and duration and finds the chords nearest to each of them. It then draws a | |
| 35 | phrase mark between them, shaping it to be out of the way of other things as | |
| 36 | much as possible. | |
| 37 | It is possible to specify a "grace back up" on the begintime | |
| 38 | (a negative number in parentheses, | |
| 39 | specifying how many grace notes to back up), | |
| 40 | to make the phrase include leading grace notes. | |
| 41 | It is possible to "nest" phrase marks (i.e., have one phrase on a subset of | |
| 42 | the chords of another phrase). | |

| 81 | The word "phrase" can be preceded by a line type modifier: dotted or dashed. | |
| 82 | The dotted or dashed styles might be used for phrase marks | |
| 83 | that were added by an editor rather than the composer, or to show a phrase | |
| 84 | that doesn't apply to all verses. | |
