Detailed Description

The class for one single beat chart element.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ FCBeatChartElement()

FCBeatChartElement::FCBeatChartElement ( )
inline

The constructor.

Lua-supported.

Member Function Documentation

◆ CalcWidth()

Evpu16 FCBeatChartElement::CalcWidth ( )
inline

Calculates and returns the width of the beat chart element.

Warning
This function only calculates the correct width after a beat chart has been transitioned to a manual beatchart. See FCBeatChartElements::TransitionToManual for more information. To calculate the width for any beat chart element, regardless of whether it has been transitioned to manual or not, use FCBeatChartElements:CalcElementWidth instead.

Lua-supported.

Returns
If it's the init element, 0 is returned. Otherwise, it's the calculated width of the element in EVPUs.

◆ ClassName()

const char * FCBeatChartElement::ClassName ( ) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Returns the name of the class, for diagnostic purposes. This method MUST be overwritten in each child class.

Lua-supported.

Reimplemented from __FCInciOther.

◆ DebugDump()

void FCBeatChartElement::DebugDump ( )
inlineoverridevirtual

Outputs the class data/information for debugging purposes.

Accessible if PDK_FRAMEWORK_DEBUG is defined.

When child class inherit this method to output the contents of its own members, it should call the parent before providing its own output.

Reimplemented from __FCBaseData.

◆ GetClassID()

const PDKFRAMEWORK_CLASSID FCBeatChartElement::GetClassID ( ) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Returns the internal class ID for the PDK Framework class. This is implemented mostly because Lua has problems to resolve the true classes of inherited objects.

This method must be overwritten by all child classes.

Lua-supported (also read-only property) (0.55).

Implements __FCBaseData.

◆ GetFullSpan()

Evpu16 FCBeatChartElement::GetFullSpan ( ) const
inline

Returns the full span for the beat chart.

This can only be applied on the init beat chart element.

Lua-supported (also as property).

Returns
Returns 0 if it's not the init element. Otherwise, it returns the full span position of the beat chart.

◆ GetHorizontalPosition()

Evpu16 FCBeatChartElement::GetHorizontalPosition ( ) const
inline

Returns the position in the measure for the element (in EVPUs).

If the object is the init element (see GetInitElement), it's the total width of the measure. For the init element, it is recommended to use GetFullSpan instead.

Lua-supported (also as property).

◆ GetInitElement()

bool FCBeatChartElement::GetInitElement ( ) const
inline

Returns true if it's the first (init) element in the chart. The init element defines the full beat chart.

Lua-supported. (also as read-only property in 0.66)

◆ GetMeasurePos()

TimeEdu32 FCBeatChartElement::GetMeasurePos ( ) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Return the duration reference position for the element.

If the object is the init element (see GetInitElement), it's the total duration of the measure. For the init element it is recommended to use GetTotalDuration instead.

The duration position normally reflects an entry position, but if the measure is underfilled with too few entries there would also be an extra beat chart element for the remaining part of the measure.

Lua-supported (also as property).

Returns
The position of the element in EDUs.

Reimplemented from __FCInciOther.

◆ GetMinimumPosition()

Evpu16 FCBeatChartElement::GetMinimumPosition ( ) const
inline

Returns the minimum position for the element.

Note that this value always 0 or 1 after a beat chart is transitioned to a manual beat chart.

Lua-supported (also as property).

Returns
Returns 0 if it's the init element. Otherwise, the minimum position for the element.

◆ GetMinimumWidth()

Evpu16 FCBeatChartElement::GetMinimumWidth ( ) const
inline

Returns the minimum width for the beat chart.

The minimum width is the final minimum position of the beat chart. It is only meaningful for a non-manual beat chart.

This can only be applied on the init beat chart element.

Lua-supported (also as property) (0.66).

Returns
Returns 0 if it's not the init element. Otherwise, the minimum width of the beat chart.

◆ GetNextHorizontalPosition()

Evpu16 FCBeatChartElement::GetNextHorizontalPosition ( ) const
inline

Returns the next position in the measure.

This cannot be applied on the init beat chart element.

The "width" of the element can be found by using this value minus the measure position.

Lua-supported (also as property).

Returns
Returns 0 if it's the initial element. Otherwise, the horizontal position of the next beat chart element.

◆ GetReferenceWidth()

Evpu16 FCBeatChartElement::GetReferenceWidth ( ) const
inline

Returns the reference width for the beat chart.

The reference width is calculated by Finale when it generates the note spacing and stored in the init beat chart element. It represents the narrowest possible width for the beat chart that does not result in collisions. It is recommended not to modify this value.

This can only be applied on the init beat chart element.

Lua-supported (also as property).

Returns
Returns 0 if it's not the init element. Otherwise, the reference width of the beat chart.

◆ GetTotalDuration()

TimeEdu32 FCBeatChartElement::GetTotalDuration ( ) const
inline

Returns the total duration for the beat chart.

This can only be applied on the init beat chart element. This should be equal to the duration of the measure.,

Lua-supported (also as property) (0.66).

Returns
Returns 0 if it's not the init element. Otherwise, it returns the total duration of the beat chart.

◆ MoveHorizontalPosition()

bool FCBeatChartElement::MoveHorizontalPosition ( Evpu16 offset,
FCBeatChartElements * pBeatChart )

"Moves" the beat chart element by the offset amount.

Both the current position and the next position is affected. This method will not affect init elements.

Important! Please note that, for the beat chart to remain intact, all subsequent beat chart elements must be moved as well (easiest with the FCBeatChartElements::RebuildAfter method)

Parameters
offsetThe amout to move the beat chart element, in EVPUs.
pBeatChartThe beat chart that the element belongs to.

◆ SetFullSpan()

void FCBeatChartElement::SetFullSpan ( Evpu16 span)
inline

Sets the full span for the beat chart.

This can only be applied on the init beat chart element.

Lua-supported (also as property).

◆ SetHorizontalPosition()

void FCBeatChartElement::SetHorizontalPosition ( Evpu16 position)
inline

Sets the position of the beat chart element.

For the init beat chart element, use SetFullSpan instead.

Lua-supported (also as property).

◆ SetMeasurePos()

void FCBeatChartElement::SetMeasurePos ( TimeEdu32 edupos)
inline

Sets the duration reference position for the element.

See comments at GetMeasurePos. For the init beat chart element, it is recommended to use SetTotalDuration instead.

Lua-supported (also as property).

◆ SetMinimumPosition()

void FCBeatChartElement::SetMinimumPosition ( Evpu16 value)
inline

Sets the minimum position for the element.

Note that this value always 0 or 1 after a beat chart is transitioned to a manual beat chart. Generally speaking, you should not modify these values and instead should call FCBeatChartElements::TransitionToManual before modifying horizontal positioning.

This cannot be applied to the init beat chart element.

Lua-supported (also as property).

◆ SetMinimumWidth()

void FCBeatChartElement::SetMinimumWidth ( Evpu16 width)
inline

Sets the minimum width for the beat chart.

The minimum width is the final minimum position of the beat chart. It is only meaningful for a non-manual beat chart.

This can only be applied on the init beat chart element.

Lua-supported (also as property) (0.66).

◆ SetNextHorizontalPosition()

void FCBeatChartElement::SetNextHorizontalPosition ( Evpu16 value)
inline

Sets the next position in the measure.

This cannot be applied on the init beat chart element.

(This value is the measure position + "width" of the element.)

Lua-supported (also as property).

◆ SetReferenceWidth()

void FCBeatChartElement::SetReferenceWidth ( Evpu16 width)
inline

Sets the reference width for the beat chart.

This can only be applied on the init beat chart element.

Lua-supported (also as property).

◆ SetTotalDuration()

void FCBeatChartElement::SetTotalDuration ( TimeEdu32 dura)
inline

Lua-supported (also as property) (0.66).

◆ SetWidth()

void FCBeatChartElement::SetWidth ( Evpu16 width)
inline

Sets the width of the beat chart element.

This will do nothing on the init beat chart element.
