### Tones |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tones are defined using the following 3 properties: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
tone_start <value> |
|
|
|
|
|
tone_middle <value> |
|
|
|
|
|
tone_end <value> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `<value>` field for these properties is a number with one of the following |
|
|
|
|
|
values: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Tone | Symbol | `<value>` | |
|
|
|
|
|
|--------------------|--------|-----------| |
|
|
|
|
|
| extra high (top) | ◌˥ | `5` | |
|
|
|
|
|
| high | ◌˦ | `4` | |
|
|
|
|
|
| mid | ◌˧ | `3` | |
|
|
|
|
|
| low | ◌˨ | `2` | |
|
|
|
|
|
| extra low (bottom) | ◌˩ | `1` | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A *level* tone can be specified by just using the `tone_start` value. A *raising* |
|
|
|
|
|
or *falling* tone can be specified using the `tone_start` and `tone_end` values. |
|
|
|
|
|
A *raising-falling* (*peaking*) or *falling-raising* (*dipping*) tone can be |
|
|
|
|
|
specified using all three values. |
