OptionalactiveActive ottava bracket (8va/8vb/15ma/15mb) affecting the current passage. When set in facsimile mode, note pitches are adjusted to staff (visual) pitch. Set when an OctaveShift starts, cleared when it ends.
Active slurs being tracked across voice entries (for emitting slur signs on intermediate notes).
Current clef type for chord interval direction. Default: G (treble).
OptionalcurrentCurrent key signature (undefined = not yet encountered)
OptionalcurrentCurrent time signature (undefined = not yet encountered)
OptionalensembleWhen true, chord intervals are always read upward regardless of clef. Used in ensemble mode where all parts read intervals upward (Par. 33.4.2).
Whether output is facsimile (mirrors print layout) or nonfacsimile (standard braille).
Whether the previous measure used in-accord (forces octave mark on next measure).
OptionalmelismaSet of VoiceEntries that are continuation notes in a melisma (lyrics mode).
A melisma is when a single syllable is sung across multiple notes (Par. 35.2).
When a VoiceEntry is in this set, a syllabic slur sign (⠉) is emitted
after the note in the music line. Indicated by <extend/> in MusicXML.
Tracks octave context for octave mark decisions
Pre-computed slur lengths (number of notes in each slur). Used to choose short vs bracket slurs.
State passed between measures during braille conversion. Persists across measure boundaries to maintain context.
