Walkthrough

The changes update dynamics and tempo automation generation, repeat mirroring, and automation edit-range calculation. Tempo timelines account for pauses and tempo multipliers in time conversions. Playback timing uses the configured repeat-expansion setting, and playback automation caches volume and pan envelopes separately from fixed mixer controls. Tests cover dynamics, tempo timelines, repeats, pauses, playback timing, and automation edits.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 32a11

Automation playback may use incorrect repeat-pass tempo values and may fail to refresh volume or pan envelopes when tempo changes are combined with those edits. Resolve these risks before merging.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The PR description contains only a link to issue #35008 ("Resolves: #35008"). It has no description of or motivation for the changes. It also omits the template checklist, so the author has not confirmed the CLA, title, coding rules, unnecessary changes, commit messages, compilation or manual testing, or prior attempts. The unit test checkbox is not marked, although the PR adds tests, and the AI-assistance checkbox is not addressed. The issue number in the description (35008) also differs from the PR number in the objectives (35405), so the linked issue should be confirmed.

Resolution

Add a short description of the problem and the motivation for the changes, covering the automation dynamics, tempo timeline, playback envelope and repeat-handling fixes. Confirm that the linked issue is correct, because the description links #35008 and the PR is #35405. Complete the template checklist by marking each item that applies. Mark the unit test item, since the PR adds tests. If AI tools were used, mark the AI-assistance item and list the tools.

Fix the ramp start point at later repeat-pass boundaries.

When a gradual tempo change starts at a later repeat-pass boundary without a tempo marking at that tick, std::prev(startIt) can read the previous pass's terminal tempo. The generated point then occupies the pending-reset tick, so resolvePendingTempoResets() skips the reset. The ramp target and the raw-tick tempo point can both use the wrong value.

Use the pending reset's raw-tick tempo when the ramp starts at that reset, or resolve that reset before assigning the ramp start. Do not overwrite an existing raw-tick point unless the replacement preserves the correct raw-order tempo.

Add a test with a ritardando on the first measure of a repeated section that has no tempo text, where pass 1 ends at a different tempo.

Handle tempo and volume or pan changes in the same notification.

AutomationData::setCurves() and replaceCurves() can report several changed curve keys in one AutomationChanges value. When that set contains TEMPO_KEY and a volume or pan key, the early return calls resendAutomationEnvelopes() before the affected volume and pan keys are collected.

resendAutomationEnvelopes() only rebuilds envelope types that already exist in the cache. A new volume or pan curve can therefore remain unapplied, and a newly added envelope type can remain stale until another automation change.

Do not return early. Preserve the normal affected-key collection, then add cached envelope tracks when TEMPO_KEY is present.

Suggested fix
-    if (muse::contains(changes.affectedKeys, TEMPO_KEY)) {
-        resendAutomationEnvelopes();
-        return;
-    }
+    const bool tempoChanged = muse::contains(changes.affectedKeys, TEMPO_KEY);

After the loop over changes.affectedKeys and before the empty-set check:

+    if (tempoChanged) {
+        for (const auto& [trackId, envelopes] : m_automationEnvelopesCache) {
+            if (envelopes.volume) {
+                volumeTrackIds.insert(trackId);
+            }
+            if (envelopes.pan) {
+                panTrackIds.insert(trackId);
+            }
+        }
+    }
