What a week.
What a week.
One sweltering day in August, a well-loved MacBook went to sleep and never woke up. During the very week when I was over 300 miles away from my (non-Mac) secondary machine.
I am amazed at how much I was able to accomplish under the circumstances. I commandeered someone else's gaming laptop, set up a guest account, and immediately began downloading at least a dozen gigabytes of stuff (Visual Studio, Qt,

(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
Read moreHello! The last week ended up being quite different than what I had planned, but some solid improvements were made nonetheless.
PR #6211, my multimeasure rest work, was merged! I have now opened PR #6365 for my measure repeat work.
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
Read moreHello! For this week, I made a longer video:
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:

Hello again! Last week was a bit of a mixed bag. I didn't accomplish everything I hoped to, but still, progress was made. Let's get into it.
My "Priority 1" issue, having to do with undo/redo, was unexpectedly fixed for me by (once again) @mattmcclinch. The "Priority 2" issue, though... I banged my head against the wall all week, and went deep, deep into the weeds with my mentor to figure

My goals for last week were as follows:
I did all of that in the first couple of days, and went on to, well, take those under-the-hood changes

Hello, all! In the last week, I did some work a few weeks ago. Let me explain.
On Wednesday I joined Marc Sabatella's weekly MuseScore livestream to demonstrate the current state of my project, and discovered a bug in my code live on the air—measure numbers were incorrect starting after a measure group.
This was a mystery to figure out because there didn't seem to be any models to follow

Hello again! I'm happy to report another productive week.
The question of n/2 time signatures was resolved; I put it to some engraving specialists in a Facebook group, and followed their recommendations, ensuring that in such cases the one-measure "multi"-measure rest would be a standard whole rest with the numeral 1 above it, like this:

Thus, PR #6211 is finished. Now I'm just waiting for it to be

Hello again! Hard to believe it's only been two weeks of official coding so far. I'm almost done with the first part of my project, a week ahead of schedule—and that's probably for the best, because what comes next will be far more difficult.
I previously had opened a second PR for the old-style multimeasure rests, because I wanted to leave the first PR in a state of completeness and merge-readiness, but

Hello again! Last week I was completely surprised by how easily everything went. I'm glad I got a head start on disentangling the code for MMRests from Rests, because with that out of the way, I had only simple and straightforward tasks.
I wanted to accomplish three things last week:
- Make the thickness and length of the horizontal and vertical strokes of H-bar rests variables, rather than hard-coded values
- Expose
