The slur object | MNX specification

# The slur object

Type: Dictionary

## Attributes

Name | Type | Required? | Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
endNote | ID | No | The ID of the specific note at which this slur ends. This note must be within the event specified by this slur's "target" attribute. For example, you can use endNote to encode which specific note, within a chord, a slur is intended to end on — in cases when music has multiple slurs end on the same event.
lineType | line type | No | The slur's line type. If not provided, the consuming software should determine the value automatically according to its own logic.
side | slur side | No | The slur's side. If not provided, the consuming software should determine the value automatically according to its own logic.
sideEnd | slur side | No | The slur’s side at the end of the slur. This is useful to encode in cases where it differs from its initial side — for example, in cross-staff notation. If not provided, the consuming software should determine the value automatically according to its own logic. Usually this is the same value as `"side"`.
startNote | ID | No | The ID of the specific note at which this slur starts. This note must be within the event that contains this slur. For example, you can use startNote to encode which specific note, within a chord, a slur is intended to start on — in cases when music has multiple slurs starting on the same event.
target | ID | Yes | The ID of the slur’s end event — that is, the last event over which this slur is rendered. This ID must exist in the document and must identify an event.
