Initial version 01.09.00

Filter notes, rests, and/or tuplets at specific positions from the start of their bars or parent tuplets.

Positions are w = whole, h = half, q = quarter, e = 8th, x = 16th, y = 32nd, optionally followed by 1 to 3 periods (rhythm dots).

The special position value 0 indicates the start of a bar or tuplet: position zero.

Compare positions with the operators equal to, less than, greater than, less than or equal to, and greater than or equal to.

The operator =multiple will match all objects whose positions are a multiple of the position value. This always includes the first object in the bar or tuplet.

Positions are calculated from the start of the parent bar, except that for the within tuplets types, the position is relative to the parent tuplet.
