Detailed Description

A single beat chart element from Finale's music spacing system.

Beat charts define graphical spacing in measures with custom horizontal layout. They typically consist of a control element followed by several beat positions, each indicating its duration, position, and spacing information.

Each instance corresponds to a <beatChart> XML node. Only one <control> is expected per measure (inci = 0), and it must precede other entries.

The cmper is the 1-based measure number for the beat chart. The inci is a 0-based index into the list of elements in that measure’s beat chart. The cmper is shared among all entries for a given measure; inci increases with each new item.

Only inci 0 has the Control instance, but this control data is needed by all subsequent elements in the same measure. The only data member of interest in inci 0 is the control. Inci 0 is not a member of the list but rather a header.

After automatic note spacing, the pos / endPos fields contain the “ideal width” for each duration, based on the Music Spacing settings in Document Options. Any additional space is represented in the minPos fields.

For any beat chart array of N elements, the display width for element n may be calculated as:

Evpu16 nextMinPos = (n < N - 1) ? element[n + 1].minPos : control->minWidth;
Evpu16 width = MAX(element[n].endPos - element[n].pos, nextMinPos - element[n].minPos);
std::shared_ptr< Control > control
Control data for this beat chart element (only present for inci == 0)
Definition Others.h:395
Evpu minPos
Minimum position (see remarks in the class-level description of BeatChartElement)
Definition Others.h:401
Evpu endPos
End position of the beat span.
Definition Others.h:400
Evpu pos
Horizontal position within the measure.
Definition Others.h:399

If the user manually edits a beat chart, Finale transitions the array from automatic to manual as follows: The first pos is set to the first minPos, and then the width value (as calculated above) is used to determine the rest of the pos and endPos fields. The final endPos value is stored in totalWidth. Finale also sets the first minPos to 0 and all others (including control->minWidth) to 1.

The control->allotWidth member has a purpose and effect, but it has proved elusive to document exactly how it works.

This class is identified by the XML node name "beatChart".
