## Tones
Tones are defined using the following 3 properties:
tone_start <value>
tone_middle <value>
tone_end <value>
The `<value>` field for these properties is a number with one of the following
values:
| Tone | `<value>` |
|--------------------|-----------|
| extra high (top) | `5` |
| high | `4` |
| mid | `3` |
| low | `2` |
| extra low (bottom) | `1` |
A *level* tone can be specified by just using the `tone_start` value. A *raising*
or *falling* tone can be specified using the `tone_start` and `tone_end` values.
A *raising-falling* (*peaking*) or *falling-raising* (*dipping*) tone can be
specified using all three values.
