New features and terminology in nightlies (MS 3.0)

• Aug 26, 2016 - 10:16

I have been doing some bug-testing on the nightlies for MS 3.0, but I don't understand all the new terminology. For example:

  • Stacking order
  • Automatic placement.

Comments

"stacking order" determines the order in which musical elements are drawn on screen or are printed. Higher elements on the stack are drawn later and may cover parts of lowerdr elements. This makes no difference if all elements are black but if you color some you will see a difference.

With "automatic placement" we name the ability to avoid overlapping elements by moving them. For example the distance of staves is increased if some elements overlap between them.
