OptionalrhythmicSubdivision and syncopation, in [0, 1]. Below the neutral middle the figure is thinned; above it, syncopated. The middle leaves it as the dictionary wrote it, which is what makes the dictionary the thing a reader can check.
OptionalornamentGhosts and decoration, in [0, 1]; absent keeps every ornament.
OptionalisWhich events are decoration, for the ornament dial.
OptionalrateRate: stretch or compress the figure before the dials are applied. It is named for what it does to the note values, since "feel" elsewhere in the drum surface names the swing a figure is played with — a different question, asked of the same figure.
OptionalspanLength of the figure in sixteenths.
OptionaltsThe meter the figure is counted in, in any form that names one; 4/4 when none is named, which is the bar every built-in figure is written on.
The dials rank a figure's positions by how much of the metre each carries, so a figure written in another meter has to name it or it is thinned and syncopated against accents its own bar does not have.
Everything the complexity dials do to a figure, in one pass.
