form

Indicates the number of slashes required to render the appropriate beat
repeat symbol. When a single beat is repeated, consisting of a single note or chord, it is
indicated by a single thick, slanting slash; therefore, the value '1' should be used. The
following values should be used when the beat is divided into even notes: 4ths or 8ths=1,
16ths=2, 32nds=3, 64ths=4, 128ths=5. When the beat is comprised of mixed duration values,
the symbol is always rendered as 2 slashes and 2 dots.
