Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ FCCell()

FCCell::FCCell ( int measure,
int staff )
inline

The constructor.

Lua-supported.

Member Function Documentation

◆ AssureSavedIndependentKeySig()

FCKeySignature * FCCell::AssureSavedIndependentKeySig ( )

Makes sure that the cell has saved indepentent key signature data.

Lua-supported.

Returns
NULL if the staff hasn't be set to use indepentent key signatures. Otherwise, the independent key signature for the cell.

◆ AssureSavedIndependentTimeSig()

FCTimeSignature * FCCell::AssureSavedIndependentTimeSig ( )

Makes sure that the cell has saved independent time signature data.

Lua-supported.

Returns
NULL if the staff hasn't be set to use independent time signatures. Otherwise, the independent time signature for the cell.

◆ AssureSavedIndependentTimeSigForDisplay()

FCTimeSignature * FCCell::AssureSavedIndependentTimeSigForDisplay ( )

Makes sure that the cell has saved independent time signature for display data.

Lua-supported (0.59).

Returns
NULL if the staff hasn't be set to use independent time signatures. Otherwise, the independent time signature for display for the cell. If none existed before, it is created identical to the time signature.

◆ CalcClefIndexAt()

int FCCell::CalcClefIndexAt ( TimeEdu32 pos)

Calculates the clef index at a specific position in the cell.

Lua-supported.

Parameters
posThe position in the cell, in Enigma duration units.
Returns
The 0-based clef index.

◆ CalcContainsEntries()

bool FCCell::CalcContainsEntries ( )

Returns true if the cell contains entries in any layer. This function takes into account voiced linked parts.

Lua-supported (0.65).

◆ CalcDuration()

TimeEdu32 FCCell::CalcDuration ( ) const
inline

Returns the duration of the frame, according to the time signature.

Lua-supported.

◆ CalcEntryDuration()

TimeEdu32 FCCell::CalcEntryDuration ( int layer = 0)

Returns the duration for all the entries in the cell. The value of the layer with the longest duration is returned.

Lua-supported.

Parameters
layerAny of the following values:
  • -1: All layers, regardless if they're visible or not
  • 0 : All visible layer(s). This is the default.
  • 1 and above: The one-based layer number. The layer is loaded regardless of the layer visibility.
Returns
The duration in EDUs. 0 if there is no music. If multiple layers are checked, the value of the layer with the longest duration is returned.

◆ ClassName()

const char * FCCell::ClassName ( ) const
inlineoverridevirtual

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

Lua-supported.

Implements __FCBase.

◆ CreateCellMetrics()

FCCellMetrics * FCCell::CreateCellMetrics ( )
inline

Creates a cell metrics object for a cell. The created object must be disposed after use.

Lua-supported.

Returns
NULL on error. Otherwise, the pointer to the created object.

◆ CreateCurrentVisibleKeySignature()

FCKeySignature * FCCell::CreateCurrentVisibleKeySignature ( bool concertpitch = false) const
inline

Returns the visible key signature on the score or part, taking into account transposition as well as other options such as independent key signatures and Display In Concert Pitch.

This function calls a utility function provided by the Finale PDK that takes into account all options in effect. The returned FCKeySignature provides no information about whether it has been transposed or simplified from the concert key.

C++ clients must dispose of this value after using it, either with delete or by assigning it to a smart pointer.

Lua-supported (0.68)

Parameters
concertpitch(optional) allows you to get the concert pitch equivalent of the visible key signature. Normally the concert pitch equivalent is the same value as GetKeySignature, but this value is calculated by Finale whereas GetKeySignature is calculated by the PDK Framework.

◆ CreateNoteEntryCell()

FCNoteEntryCell * FCCell::CreateNoteEntryCell ( bool shouldload,
int loadlayermode = 0 )
inline

Creates a note entry cell object and optionally loads it with notes.

The created object must be deleted after use. This method requires PDK_FRAMEWORK_ENTRIES to be defined.

Lua-supported.

Parameters
shouldloadIf true, the FCNoteEntryCell object is also loaded with note entries.
loadlayermodeAny of the following values, which are used if shouldload parameter is true:
  • -1: All layers, regardless if they're visible or not
  • 0 : The visible layer(s). This is the default
  • 1 and above: The one-based layer number, regardless of the layer visibility.
Returns
The created FCNoteEntryCell object. This object must be deleted from the heap after use.

◆ GetKeySignature()

FCKeySignature * FCCell::GetKeySignature ( )

Returns a pointer to the key signature object.

This method takes independent key sigs into account. The key signature returned is the concert key. Use CreateCurrentVisibleKeySignature to get the key signature that is visible on the score.

Since there's more involved here than just creating and returning a pointer, this method should always be used internally as well to access the _pKeySig private member.

Lua-supported.

Returns
The pointer to the key signature object.

◆ GetMeasure()

int FCCell::GetMeasure ( ) const
inline

Returns the measure for the cell.

Lua-supported (also as a read-only property).

Returns
The measure number (1-based) for the cell

◆ GetStaff()

int FCCell::GetStaff ( ) const
inline

Returns the staff for the cell.

Lua-supported (also as a read-only property).

Returns
The staff number (1-based in the global score) for the cell

◆ GetTimeSignature()

FCTimeSignature * FCCell::GetTimeSignature ( )

Returns a pointer to the time signature object.

This method takes independent time sigs into account.

Since there's more involved here than just creating and returning a pointer, this method should always be used internally as well to access the _pTimeSig private member.

Lua-supported.

Returns
The pointer to the time signature object. This object should NOT be deleted manually.

◆ GetTimeSignatureForDisplay()

FCTimeSignature * FCCell::GetTimeSignatureForDisplay ( )

Returns a pointer to the time signature object. If time signature for display shouldn't be used, NULL will be returned.

This method takes independent time sigs into account.

This pointer works in similar ways to the pointer returned at GetTimeSignature(). For more info, please refer to GetTimeSignature().

Lua-supported (0.59).

◆ HasIndependentKeySig()

bool FCCell::HasIndependentKeySig ( )

Returns true if the cell has an independent key signature.

Lua-supported.

◆ HasIndependentTimeSig()

bool FCCell::HasIndependentTimeSig ( )

Returns true if the cell has an independent time signature.

Lua-supported.

◆ ReAssign()

void FCCell::ReAssign ( int measure,
int staff )
inline

Reassigns the cell to a different cell position, which will also delete attached cell data.

If the reassignment is identical to the previous cell assignment, no change will be made.

Lua-supported.

◆ RemoveIndependentTimeSigForDisplay()

void FCCell::RemoveIndependentTimeSigForDisplay ( )
inline

Removes an independent time signature for display if there is one.

The cell must be saved with FCCell::Save for the change to take effect. After calling this function, if you call GetTimeSignatureForDisplay or AssureSavedIndependentTimeSigForDisplay, you will need to call this function again for an independent time signature to be removed.

Lua-supported (0.59).

◆ Save()

bool FCCell::Save ( )

Saves any independent key and/or time signatures connected with the cell.

This method will only affect elements that has been retrieved by the GetKeySignature or GetTimeSignature method.

Lua-supported.
