Spans
Using these probabilities as a guideline, a factory first generates empty spans according to its internal rules. After spans have been generated, they are assigned a Type of Figure segment and filled accordingly. Longer spans allow Figure segments to run and develop, while very short spans may clip them to a blip.
The setting Crossing Measures allows spans to overlap measure bounds, which is good for melodies and weakens the pronunciation of beat.
Note: The lengths shown here are merely an example for 4:4 (common time). Lengths for
other time signatures may vary.
