MNX specification

The note value object

Type: Dictionary

A rhythmic value for a note, such as a "dotted quarter note." This is encoded via a base note type, such as "quarter", and an optional number of dots.

Keys:

Name	Type	Required?	Description
"base"	note value base object	Yes
"dots"	positive integer object	No	Number of augmentation dots. If not specified, this value is assumed to be 0. Though MNX has no limit on number of dots encoded, we advise software implementations not to worry about supporting more than 5.
