The v statement takes effect with the following i statement , and remains in effect until the next v statement , s statement , or e statement . In this example, the second note occurs two beats after the first note, and is twice as long. Although the v statement is similar to the t statement , the v statement is local in operation. That is, v affects only the following notes, and its effect may be cancelled or changed by another v statement . In this example, note2 and note4 occur simultaneously, while note3 actually occurs before note2, that is, at its original place.
Durations are unaffected.
In this example, the v statement has no effect.
