Detailed Description

Represents a musical time signature (meter) for a measure.

The TimeSignature class provides methods for setting and querying the upper and lower values of the time signature, as well as determining the metric type (simple, compound, or complex). It is designed for music analysis, computational musicology, and MusicXML processing.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

TimeSignature()

TimeSignature::TimeSignature	(	const int	timeUpper = 4,
		const int	timeLower = 4
	)

Constructs a TimeSignature with specified upper and lower values.

Parameters

timeUpper	Numerator of the time signature (default: 4).
timeLower	Denominator of the time signature (default: 4).

Member Function Documentation

getLowerValue()

int TimeSignature::getLowerValue

(

)

const

Returns the lower value (denominator) of the time signature.

Returns

Integer representing the denominator.

getMetric()

METRIC TimeSignature::getMetric

(

)

const

Returns the metric type of the time signature (simple, compound, or irregular).

Simple: 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 2/8, 3/8, 4/8, etc.; Compound: 6/8, 9/8, 12/8, 6/4, 9/4, 15/16, etc.; Irregular: 5/4, 7/8, 11/8, 13/8, etc.

Returns

METRIC enum value.

getMetricAsString()

const std::string TimeSignature::getMetricAsString

(

)

const

Returns the metric type as a string ("SIMPLE", "COMPOUND", "IRREGULAR").

Returns

String representation of the metric type.

getUpperValue()

int TimeSignature::getUpperValue

(

)

const

Returns the upper value (numerator) of the time signature.

Returns

Integer representing the numerator.

setLowerValue()

void TimeSignature::setLowerValue

(

int

lowerValue

)

Parameters

lowerValue

New denominator value.

setUpperValue()

void TimeSignature::setUpperValue

(

int

upperValue

)

Sets the upper value (numerator) of the time signature.

Parameters

upperValue

New numerator value.
