syll
Align(mainfoot,prword,L,syll)
Measure the number of syll ('units') intervening between the L ('direction') edge of prword ('container') and the L ('direction') edge of mainfoot ('object'), summed up for each mainfoot ('object').
Possible objects to be aligned: foot with primary stress (mainfoot = 'mainfoot') or all feet (prword = 'allfeet').
Possible container: prosodic word (prword = 'prword').
Possible directions: left (L = 'l') or right (L = 'r').
Possible units: syllable (syll = 'syll') or mora (syll = 'mora').
No Clash
Assign one violation mark to any stressed syllable that is immediately preceded by another stressed syllable.
LEFT
Rhythm Type is LEFT
The type is LEFT, which must be one of the following: 'LEFT', 'RIGHT', 'NONLEFT', 'NONRIGHT'. One violation mark is assigned to each foot not belonging to the preferred type.
'LEFT': the first syllable in the foot must be stressed, such as monosyllabic feet and trochees, but not binary iambs.
'RIGHT': the last syllable in the foot must be stressed, such as monosyllabic feet and iambs, but not binary trochees.
'NONLEFT': the first syllable in the foot must be unstressed, such as binary iambs, but not monosyllabic feet and trochees.
'NONRIGHT': the last syllable in the foot must be unstressed, such as binary trochees, but not monosyllabic feet and iambs.

Align(allfeet,prword,L,syll)
Measure the number of syll ('units') intervening between the L ('direction') edge of prword ('container') and the L ('direction') edge of allfeet ('object'), summed up for each allfeet ('object').
Possible objects to be aligned: foot with primary stress (allfeet = 'mainfoot') or all feet (prword = 'allfeet').
Possible container: prosodic word (prword = 'prword').
Possible directions: left (L = 'l') or right (L = 'r').
Possible units: syllable (syll = 'syll') or mora (syll = 'mora').
No Lapse
Assign one violation mark to any unstressed syllable that is not adjacent to a stressed syllable or to a word edge.
No Final Stress
Assign one violation mark if the last syllable is stressed, no violation if it is not stressed. (See also scheme 'Non-Finality'.)

Stress-to-weight
Assign one violation mark to every stressed syllable that is not heavy. The number specified in 3 defines what makes a syllable heavy:
Possible values of 3 are:
1 -- heavy if syllable has a long nucleus.
2 -- if it has a coda.
3 -- if it has a long nucleus OR a coda (or both).
4 -- it is has a complex coda.
5 -- if it has a long nucleus OR a complex coda (or both).
8 -- if it has a long nucleus AND a coda.
12 -- it is has a complex coda OR if it has a long nucleus and a coda.
16 -- if it has a long nucleus AND a complex coda.
The characters in aAeioOuy define the vowels, whereas bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxz the consonants. A long nucleus is either a long vowel (a vowel followed by the LONG symbol) or multiple vowel characters. A complex coda is either a long consonant (a consonant followed by the LONG symbol) or multiple consonant characters.
Parse Syllable
Assign one violation mark per syllable unparsed into a foot.
