To oversimplify, a monophonic note is divided into a "simple_event" and any number of "post_events." A simple_event breaks down like so: - pitch (note name + octave) - forced accidental markers - octave check - note duration and multiplier - \rest Beams, slurs, articulations, fingerings, etc. all fall under post_events, which can occur in any order.
