16.3 Graphical notation
Rhythmic items may be continued by a duration line, which gets represented by a
DurationLine
grob.
Possible styles are 'beam
, 'line
, 'dashed-line
,
'dotted-line
, 'zigzag
, 'trill
and 'none
.
The duration line may end with a hook (beam-style only) or an arrow.

DurationLine

.
