Special methods

(Container).__contains__(argument)

Is true when argument appears in container.

Return type:bool

(Component).__copy__(*arguments)

Shallow copies component.

Copies indicators.

Does not copy spanners.

Does not copy children.

Returns new component.

(Container).__delitem__(i)

Deletes components(s) at index i in container.

Deletes first tuplet in voice:

>>> voice = abjad.Voice()
>>> voice.append(abjad.Tuplet((2, 3), "c'4 d'4 e'4"))
>>> voice.append(abjad.Tuplet((2, 3), "e'4 d'4 c'4"))
>>> leaves = abjad.select(voice).leaves()
>>> abjad.attach(abjad.Slur(), leaves)
>>> abjad.show(voice) 

>>> tuplet_1 = voice[0]
>>> del(voice[0])

First tuplet no longer appears in voice:

>>> abjad.show(voice) 

>>> abjad.inspect(voice).is_well_formed()
True

First tuplet is no longer slurred but is still well-formed:

>>> abjad.show(tuplet_1) 

>>> abjad.inspect(tuplet_1).is_well_formed()
True

Withdraws component(s) from crossing spanners.

Preserves spanners that component(s) cover(s).

Returns none.

(Component).__format__(format_specification='')

Formats component.

Returns string.

(Container).__getitem__(argument)

Gets item or slice identified by argument.

Traverses top-level items only.

Return type:Union[Component, Selection]

(Container).__graph__(spanner=None, **keywords)

Graphviz graph representation of container.

Returns Graphviz graph.

(Component).__illustrate__()

Illustrates component.

Returns LilyPond file.

(Container).__iter__()

Iterates container.

Abjad containers are iterables:

>>> import collections
>>> container = abjad.Container()
>>> isinstance(container, collections.Iterable)
True

Abjad containers are not sequences:

>>> import collections
>>> container = abjad.Container()
>>> isinstance(container, collections.Sequence)
False

Yields container elements.

Returns generator.

(Container).__len__()

Gets number of components in container.

Return type:int

(Component).__mul__(n)

Copies component n times and detaches spanners.

Returns list of new components.

(Component).__repr__()

Gets interpreter representation of leaf.

Returns string.

(Component).__rmul__(n)

Copies component n times and detach spanners.

Returns list of new components.

(Container).__setitem__(i, argument)

Sets container i equal to argument. Finds spanners that dominate self[i] and children of self[i]. Replaces contents at self[i] with ‘argument’. Reattaches spanners to new contents. Always leaves score tree in tact.

Return type:None

>>> abjad.show(container) 

>>> container.append(abjad.Note("e'4"))
>>> abjad.show(container) 

Return type:None

(Container).extend(argument)

Extends container with argument.

Extends container with three notes:

>>> container = abjad.Container("c'4 ( d'4 f'4 )")
>>> abjad.show(container) 

>>> notes = [abjad.Note("e'32"), abjad.Note("d'32"), abjad.Note("e'16")]
>>> container.extend(notes)
>>> abjad.show(container) 

Return type:None

(Container).index(component)

Returns index of component in container.

Gets index of last element in container:

3

Return type:int

(Container).insert(i, component, fracture_spanners=False)

Inserts component at index i in container.

Inserts note. Does not fracture spanners:

>>> container = abjad.Container([])
>>> container.extend("fs16 cs' e' a'")
>>> container.extend("cs''16 e'' cs'' a'")
>>> container.extend("fs'16 e' cs' fs")
>>> slur = abjad.Slur(direction=abjad.Down)
>>> abjad.attach(slur, container[:])
