When several consecutive notes have their stems beamed together this is coded by a notation g (group). The first parameter is a plus sign (+) or a minus sign (-) to mean, respectively, that it is the start or the end of a group. After this sign other parameters are possible. When the only parameters specified are the start/end sign, the g element admits an abbreviated syntax g+ in the starting note and g- in the ending one. Example:

(n c4 q g+)(n d4 e)(n e4 e g-)
nc4q,g+ nde ne,g-

A group of beamed notes, formed by a quarter C4 note, an eighth D4 note and an eighth E4 note.
