TLDR:

Screenshot 2026-10-29 at 09 48 54

...

Also, edits to a polyline in one system will affect the next polyline if needs be. The live dragging still looks a bit janky but I think this is easily improved by live updating the edge values (will address in a follow-up since this PR is complicated enough as-is):

polylinesystems.mov

Breakdown of main commits:

  • 150bd08 - m_polylinesMap and m_pointsDataByPolyline are now keyed the same and can be put into a single map, preventing the need for multiple lookups.
  • bda7cfe - since there's going to be a many-to-one relationship of polylines to staves (due to HBoxes), returning/passing maps around becomes unwieldy. This commit moves to a model where we build polylines in-place (in the new unified m_polylinesDataMap).
  • c9ed249 - this is the crux of these changes. Using the concept of "staff regions" (sections of a staff separated by system breaks or horizontal frames) buildAndAddPolylineForStaffRegion does what it says on the tin. The helper regionCanvasRect is now required for our geometry since we can't simply use the SysStaff box, and a new tickFromXInPolyline replaces tickFromCanvasX.
  • 244be80 applies a fix that was originally included in #35161, rebased on top of these changes.
  • 11c19d3 addresses the idea that editing one polyline can have-knock on effects for another (in the next system(s), or after HBoxes). This is achieved through polyline "edge value overrides" (from PolylinePlot - introduce "edge value overrides" muse_framework#393). The value of an edge point is determined by interpolating at a given tick between the last point in one region, and the first point in the next region.

Walkthrough

The automation controller now builds polylines for staff measure regions, splitting measure runs at horizontal boxes. Point mapping, editing, rendering, and incremental refresh use each region’s bounds and curve data. The muse subproject reference also changes.

Priority: Normal

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 55f57

Confirm that fresh checkouts can fetch the muse submodule before merging. Point editing can also shift a point by one tick and should be corrected.

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 8.33% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 24 functions across 2 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description explains the implementation and lists the AI tools used, but it omits the required issue reference, most checklist items, testing details, and information about prior attempts. The motivation is also incomplete because the TLDR contains only an image and ellipsis.

Resolution

Add a valid "Resolves: #NNNNN" issue reference, provide a concise problem statement and motivation, complete every required checklist item, document build and manual testing, describe any prior attempts or state that none exist, and complete the applicable unit test or vtest and AI-assistance sections.

Round the interpolated tick instead of truncating it.

pointsDataInStaffRegion converts integer ticks to x coordinates with floating-point arithmetic. tickFromXInPolyline reverses that calculation, then truncates the interpolated offset with static_cast<int>. A value just below an integer can resolve one tick early.

requestEditPoint uses this result to detect tick changes. This can move a BOTH point or create an IN/OUT point at the wrong tick, including points whose x coordinate is fixed during editing.

Before accessing the value, it's best to make sure that find(tickBefore) did not return end(). The same thing on line 286. You could also use muse::value with a default value
