\page ticklength Tick Length values
Note and rest values are expressed in an internal unit, to express their mutual relationships and to make them independent from actual tempo. This unit is used by the following object properties:
- \ref Ms::PluginAPI::PluginAPI::division (defines a number of ticks per quarter note)
- \ref Ms::PluginAPI::Segment::tick
- Other properties (to be added to this list)
All tick lengths in this table are defined through the \ref Ms::PluginAPI::PluginAPI::division "division" property. Raw numeric values are better to be avoided.
