GSoC 2024 - Dynamics Popup - Week 4

Posted 5 months ago

Hey all,

This will be a quick update on my progress from last week. I mostly spent time understanding the codebase around grips (the small rectangles) and how they are drawn onto the score. I was able to add them to dynamics, which will be used as drag handles for drawing the crescendo and decrescendo hairpins by dragging them, as described in my first blog.

You can checkout the details of my implementation in the updated PR: https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/23038

Next Steps

Currently, we can only drag the handles horizontally, no hairpin shows up. So, my next step is to add the functionality to display the hairpins when the handles are dragged.

Thanks for reading, and have a great day!
