+of measured notes.
+
+To be more precise:
+Decrementing a note indicates the end of a 'measurement group'.
+
+A measurement group is a set of notes marked for a measurement style
+(e.g. even,dynamics,tempo, even+dynamics, ... ).  A measurement
+section may contain multiple measurement groups - each of which is
+terminated by a decremented color.
+
+There is no concept of an 'end of section'.  The end of section is the
+same as the beginning of the next section.
+
+Note that if the terminating note of a given measurement group
+contains two styles then only one color needs to be decremented to end
+the group. For example if the terminating note is marked for both
+evenness and dynamics (red + blue) then decrementing either red or
+blue will terminate both the evenness and dynamics measurements.
