Description

The onset specification can also be described as an offset to the origin of the interval.

The term 'onset' is borrowed from music theory where it is used to mark the beginning of a note, but doesn't denote pitch or length. Likewise the onset for interval scheduling marks the starting of some action, without specifying the action itself or its duration.
