subsequence.constants.durations
===============================

.. py:module:: subsequence.constants.durations

.. autoapi-nested-parse::

   Beat-based duration constants for pattern lengths and note timing.

   All values are in **beats**, where 1.0 = one quarter note. Use these to express
   pattern lengths and step sizes in musical terms instead of raw floats.

   Multiply by a count for multi-note durations::

       import subsequence.constants.durations as dur

       # "9 sixteenth notes"
       length = 9 * dur.SIXTEENTH     # 2.25 beats

       # "21 eighth notes"
       length = 21 * dur.EIGHTH       # 10.5 beats

       # "4 bars of quarter notes"
       length = 4 * dur.QUARTER       # 4.0 beats

   Use directly for step sizes and note durations::

       p.arpeggio(tones, spacing=dur.SIXTEENTH, velocity=90)
       p.arpeggio(tones, spacing=dur.DOTTED_SIXTEENTH, velocity=80)
       p.repeat(60, spacing=dur.EIGHTH)
