The table contains a total of only four settable duration attributes, divided among only three classes. Durated Abjad classes offer up many read-only duration attributes but very few read-write duration attributes.
All classes carry all three prolation-related attributes because all classes can nest inside containers. It is possible, for example, to nest an entire voice within a fixed-duration tuplet.
Note
Leaf multipliers and tuplet multipliers differ.
