Element Analyser is an plugin for MuseScore that allows to retrieve the properties of an element.
- Ported to MuseScore 4
- New internal plugin folder structure.
- It provides a User Interface for displaying those properties, as well as
- A re-usable library to incorporate debug and element-analyze into your own plugins.
As a User Interface it provides a simple and straightforward analyse of the selected element and its parents. As a library it provides rich and highly configurable functions to tailor the analyse needed when building your own plugins.
Download the last stable version.
For installation see Plugins.
The whole zip content (so the elementanalyser\ folder) must be unzipped as such in your plugin folder.
For MuseScore 4, the installation remains the same. See the MuseScore 4 draft handbook for more information.
SUPPORTED
The GUI version is a slow process. It might give the impression to bring MuseScore unstable. The user might be tempted to force MuseScore down, but it is unnecessary. The window will gets updated at the end of the process.
If you appreciate my plugins, you can support and sponsor their development on the following platforms:
And also check my Zploger application, a tool for managing a library of scores, with extended MuseScore support.
You must declare the library in your code:
import QtQuick 2.9
import MuseScore 3.0
import "elementanalyser/elementanalyser.js" as Debug
debugO is the function to deep-dive into a selected element.
It can be called in different ways:
This is the default call of debugO. This will provide the following analyse of the element:
- excluding some properties such as "pos", "color", "bbox", ...
- going down into the properties to one level maximum,
- going up into parents until it reaches an element of type SEGMENT.
Example:
var element = curScore.selection.elements[0];
Debug.debugO("note", element);
You can also specify your own list of elements. excluded might be a single string, being the name of a property to be excluded or an array of property names to be excluded.
Example:
var element = curScore.selection.elements[0];
Debug.debugO("note", element, ["elements", "staff", "part"]);
debugO is highly configurable. It can receive a json object defining its behaviour.
Json structure:
filterList: array of property names to exclude or include. Can also be a regexp.
Default: [elements,staff,page] + the "dontdig" list.isinclude: true|false. Default: false.
Tells whether the filterList list is defining what must be included in the analyse or excluded.hideExcluded: true|false. Default: false.
In include mode, the non included properties will not be further analysed. They can also be hidden from the analyse. The benefit is a smaller analyse output. The risk is missing some properties forgotten in the include list.maxlevel: number. Must be ≥ 0. Default: 1.
Tells how far to dive into the properties tree. The higher the number, the bigger the analyse output.stopat: ElementType value. Default: Element.SEGMENT (90).
Tells when to stop analysing the parent tree.dontdig: array of property names to never investigate. Can also be a regexp.
Default: [bbox,/^pos/i,/color/i,/align/i,next,prev,nextInMeasure,prevInMeasure,lastMeasure,firstMeasure,lastMeasureMM,firstMeasureMM,prevMeasure,nextMeasure,prevMeasureMM,nextMeasureMM,lastTiedNote,firstTiedNote]limitToNotNull: true|false. Default: false.
Tells whether to hide or display the properties that are not defined (undefinedornull).
Example:
var element = curScore.selection.elements[0];
if (element.type !== Element.NOTE) return;
note = element;
var debug = {
filterList: ["staff", "voice", /track/i, /part/i, /score/i, /excerpt/i, /accidental/],
isinclude: true,
maxlevel: 1,
stopat: Element.SEGMENT,
hideExcluded: true,
};
Debug.debugO("note", note, debug);
compareObjects does a comparison of series of object according a series of properties.
Its call signature is: compareObjects(objects, properties, config) with:
objects: an array of objectsproperties: an array of property names to analyseconfig: a json file with the same structure as indebugO.
Example:
var explore = ["scoreName", "parts.length", "title", "ntracks"];
var scores = [curScore, curScore.excerpts[0].partScore];
Debug.compareObjects(scores, explore, {maxlevel: 0});
addLogger adds outputs for the analyse. The default output is the console. You may add other outputs such as files or QML widgets.
Its call signature is addLogger(loggerfunction) with;
loggerfunction: a function of signaturefunction(text).
Example:
Debug.addLogger(
function (text) {
txtLog.text = txtLog.text + "\n" + text;
});
