GSOC 2021: Chord Symbol Style Editor - Week 5 (Advanced Settings)

3 years ago • 0 comments

Hello everyone. Hope you are doing good.
Last week was a great one. I was able to get a lot done.

Work done:

I completed the rest of the advanced settings namely stacking of modifiers, capitalization, and parentheses options.

1. Stacking of modifiers:

The stacking options work on alterations(e.g. b5) and addition/omission modifiers only. The user can choose to enable/disable stacking.

2. Capitalization options:

The capitalization options are the same as they are in MuseScore 3.6 but with 1 new

GSoC 2021 - Week 4 - Tempo Popup

3 years ago • 0 comments

Hey everyone!

I have completed all the functionality that goes into both the tempo popup and the tempo element over the past week. Users can input tempo using all 3 tabs. The marking does not allow the user to edit the equation. And bugs related to user input have been fixed.

This week, I plan of fixing a couple of minor bugs in the popup and integrating the modified tempo element with the import and export code. I hope to

GSoC 2021 - Week-4: Improving Accessibility For the Visually Impaired

3 years ago • 2 comments

Greetings!
I hope everyone is staying safe and doing well.

This week brought around a re-work of the UI for Accessibility settings. The core functionality of the features is retained, with changes being introduced on how these functionalities are presented to the user. This means that some pieces of code need to be plucked and put into other files, and some of the other pieces will inevitably go to waste.
The new design calls for the settings to be placed

Hello everyone. I hope all is well.
It has been 1 month since I started the project and it has been a great experience so far. I was able to complete the main features of the Chord Symbol Style Editor. So, I thought I would summarise everything I have done so far in this week's blog. I have also included some short video demos for you all to see.

Inspector Pop-up:

When a chord symbol is selected, the chord symbol

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Greetings!
I hope everyone is staying safe and doing well.
This week has been a rollercoaster in terms of the progress made, and the steps and efforts it took to get to said progress. Without further ado, let's get into it!


The Good

I have made more visual modifications to the High-Contrast mode. High-Contrast Black and High-Contrast White modes now have borders around most of the interactive buttons in the MuseScore UI. The

GSoC 2021 - Week 3 - Tempo Popup

3 years ago • 5 comments

Over the course of the past week, I've come close to completing the Tempo Popup, except for a few minor fixes

Users can now use the popup to enter equations with all three tabs - Tempo, Equation and Code. The Code tab currently only supports simple markings that can be notated using the other tabs because of limitations in the symbol set, but is designed to make it easy for future expansion

The tempo marking has also been modified to

Hey. I hope you had a great weekend!
This week, I got started with the actual editor in the styles dialog. It is coming together well.

Work Done:

  1. Basic settings in the editor:
    The style options and the basic settings are implemented. The basic settings include the already existing Chord Spelling settings and the new Quality Symbols settings. MuseScore is now able to read the quality symbols for each style from the XML file and display it to the user.

Greetings!
I hope you're doing well and staying safe in these testing times.
This is the 3rd blog post, revolving around the progress I've made in the 2nd week of the Coding Period of Google Summer of Code 2021.

Progress was a little slow this week in my opinion, but I did manage to get a few things done.

Updates:

I was able to fix almost everything that was going wrong in the commit I made in the previous week.

GSoC 2021 - Week 2 - Tempo Popup

3 years ago • 0 comments

Hey everyone!

This past week, I was focused on creating the UI for the Tempo Notation Popup. I've also gotten started on creating the functionality required for the user to edit the tempo element from the popup. The plan for this popup is to be able to return metrico style notation strings, which are parsed and converted into symbols by the tempo element and rendered as usual. This system will be designed to aid future expansion of the symbol set

Hi. I hope you are in good health.
This week, I was able to get much more done than I thought. I also got a much better understanding of the project and the codebase as a whole.
The new Chord Symbol Style Editor has two components: Inspector Pop-up and Styles Dialog. In the previous blog, I told that I would be working on the dialog this week but the design was undergoing some changes. So, I decided to work on
