GSoC 2020: Albums, Week 10, Landing succesful

3 years ago • 0 comments

Feature-set 99% complete

Let's get right to business. This week I completed my work on the Parts functionality for Albums. There are still some things to be done, but most of that has to do with refactoring. Feature-wise the project is pretty much complete.

Progress

I spent most of my time working on Parts and trying to fix a couple of linker errors that were introduced (I haven't managed to fix them yet). Other than that, I added a couple

GSoC 2020: Albums, Week 9, Preparing for landing.

3 years ago • 0 comments

It's the (almost) final countdown.

Another week, another blog. This week begins the final part of our Google Summer of Code adventure. Both I and my mentors agree that this is a good time to start focusing on improving the existing functionality of Albums (even though there are still a bunch of things that could be added). So, as you might expect most of this month won't be too exciting for yall (you have seen most of the functionality that

GSoC 2020: Tree Model - Week 9

3 years ago • 0 comments

Hi! This is another progress update blog for my GSoC project.

Last week I had my college vivas and seminar until Wednesday. After that, I have started working again on the write function refactoring.
The main progress I have made is, I have written from scratch a virtual treeWrite() function, and made it match somewhat with the current mscx format by reimplementing it in the top-level classes.

Here's a link to diffs between the original and new files produced by

GSoC 2020 Week 9 Recap: Playback Plus

3 years ago • 0 comments

Update from last week

Since the playback algorithms already had handling for one-measure repeats, it turned out to require only small changes to get the two-measure and four-measure repeats to play correctly. (However, in some circumstances it is questionable what it is to "play correctly"—see https://t.me/musescoreeditorchat/82334. Please don't put your musician in a circumstance where it is questionable what it is to "play correctly.") And I was pleased to find that, by investing in playback, I got MIDI export

GSoC 2020 Week 8 Recap: Model Design and Convincing Illusions

3 years ago • 0 comments

Hello! The last week ended up being quite different than what I had planned, but some solid improvements were made nonetheless.

Update from last week

PR #6211, my multimeasure rest work, was merged! I have now opened PR #6365 for my measure repeat work.

Inspector

According to plan, I added an Inspector for MeasureRepeats. Not according to plan, the ground shifted under my feet and suddenly all my files were in the wrong place. I should have had PR

GSoC 2020: Tree Model - Week 8

3 years ago • 0 comments

Hi all, Welcome to this week's GSoC progress blog!

I have been trying to refactor the write() function based on the tree model. The basic idea is very simple:
We will have a generic ScoreElement::write() function which will be something like the following:

void ScoreElement::write(XMLWriter& xml)
{
    xml.beginElement(name());
    for (p : properties()) {
         p.write(w);

GSoC 2020 Week 7 Recap: Keeping It Together

3 years ago • 1 comment

Hello! For this week, I made a longer video:

Update from last week

I made the bond between the measures of a MeasureRepeat group much stronger, disallowing or adding special handling for as many scenarios as I could think of that would interfere with them. Among those scenarios:

  • Copying and pasting measures within a group (disallowed, unless the whole group is selected)
  • Pasting anything into a group (allowed, removes the MeasureRepeat and resets associated measures)
  • Note input within a group

Polishing

Greetings MuseScorers, one more Album GSoC progression blog is here. We have officially entered the second half of this year's Google Summer of Code. I am pretty satisfied with the state of the project and I believe that I still am quite a bit ahead of schedule.

Since the last blog I've fixed a bunch of bugs, crashes and brought the editing capabilities of the album-mode closer to those of a normal score.

The Specifics

GSoC 2020: Tree Model - Week 7 (finished scanElements refactoring)

3 years ago • 0 comments

Hello MuseScore blog readers!

Work done last week

Since my last blog on Wednesday, I have made some final changes to my PR and addressed all the review comments.

I tried testing the application after all the changes were made, and although 99% of the things seemed to be working fine I noticed a few small bugs and a bit bigger one.

The smaller bugs were related to the palette, some elements like spanners, glissandos and fret diagrams were not
