The grace object

Type: Dictionary

A grace object encodes grace notes. Its "content" contains the note data.

Within "content", each inner event's "value" encodes the visual rhythmic appearance of the grace note — e.g., "/8" for an eighth note.

Any direction content that lacks a location attribute and lives within a grace object is considered to be in alignment with the following event, even though grace notes in the same run technically share the same measure location.
