1 year ago • 0 comments

Hello, everyone! With the conclusion of the third week, I am pleased to report that the Note Input Bar and Playback Toolbar shortcuts are currently in the testing phase. If you'd like to have a look and give it a try, please visit: https://github.com/VanSHOE/MuseScore/tree/NotePlaybackShortcuts

The majority of this week was devoted to the classification of shortcuts. Since categorization by the team would take some time since the process requires a lot of iterations, I began designing a script that

GSoC 2022 - Harp pedalling week 2

1 year ago • 0 comments

Hi everyone,
This won't be a hugely interesting post I'm afraid as the time I've spent on the project this week has been mostly essential work behind the scenes. Through this I've learned a lot more about how the engraving internals work and interact with each other.
I also added a palette section for new harp notation. For now, this will just be the pedalling diagrams, but there are many other pieces of harp notation we could add in the

GSoC'22 - Week #2: Global Shortcuts

1 year ago • 0 comments

Hello, everyone! The second week has now concluded. I may not have as much to showcase as I did in the first week, but I have made considerable progress on the backend.

This week was primarily devoted to developing a strategy for managing palette shortcuts and constructing a preliminary implementation thereof.

Action names are now produced based on their pointer values as opposed to their names, and all shortcuts are now kept in the palette cells themselves as opposed to storing

Hello all,
This week began with a meeting about the final design for the diagrams and UI to edit them. Below you can see Martin's (Tantacrul's) design for both. The diagrams have been added to the Leland font already, ready for me to use!

After the meeting I wrote up a solid plan for what I'd like to achieve when, before making a start on the class which will actually represent the diagrams in the score. The diagrams will

GSoC 2022 - Harp pedalling diagrams

1 year ago • 0 comments

Hello everyone, my name is James and I’ve been fortunate enough to have been chosen to take on one of this year’s projects for Google Summer of Code. I’ll be working on adding a well integrated method of adding and editing harp pedalling diagrams to scores. Harps have seven foot pedals that are used to sharpen or flatten certain strings. The pedalling diagram tells the harpist which pedals they need to press to get the correct pitches for the current
