User’s Guide, Chapter 6: Streams (II): Hierarchies, Recursion, and Flattening

We ended Chapter 4 (User’s Guide, Chapter 4: Lists, Streams (I) and Output) with a Stream that was contained within another Stream object. The only way to find out what was in the contained Stream that we demonstrated so far was the show() method using the (‘text’) argument:

>>> biggerStream.show('text')
{0.0} <music21.note.Note D#>
{1.0} <music21.stream.Stream some notes>
        {0.0} <music21.note.Note C>
        {2.0} <music21.note.Note F#>
        {3.0} <music21.note.Note B->
