Mark

Mark(
    name: str,
    description: str | None = None,
    kind: MarkType | None = None,
    attachment_mode: AttachmentMode | None = None,
    aliases: tuple[str, ...] = (),
    binds: bool = False,
)

A mark as it appears in a notation system’s vocabulary (a staccato dot, a slur, a fermata, mf). The thing placed in a score is a Marking or a MarkSpanner holding one of these.

Most of a Mark is descriptive. The few attributes code acts on are added one at a time, named for what the mark means musically rather than for the code that reads them: kind and attachment_mode classify it, and binds says that the events under a span mark are one articulation (one bow, one breath, one syllable), as under a slur or a tie. A mark that binds cannot begin a new lyric syllable except on its first note.
