  indicating no boundary. N.B. Whether this indicates a boundary
  before or after moment-designator is the responsibility of the
  caller to know."))

  boundary-strength applies to if object is the second input to
  the method. Essentially, this distinguishes between segmenters
  that look to the beginning of a note and those that look at the
  end.")

  boundary-strength, supplies segmentation as given in a
  ground truth for the composition. N.B. This needs to return one
  segmenter only, so in cases of multiple ground truths, this
  method must arbitrate."))
