Detailed Description

Timeline class storing and handling all TempoMarkers and Tags.

The design of the Timeline is a little bit involved and needs a couple of words to explain it. As soon as the Timeline is activated, it is required to yield a tempo for each column which solely depends on the TempoMarkers set by the user. Since a TempoMarker determines the tempo for all columns equal or bigger its own, there always needs a be one present at the very beginning of the Song.

For a more convenient UX the user shouldn't bother about the first one too much as a TempoMarker is usually put after the first column to indicate a change in tempo. Therefore, when a TempoMarker is added to an empty Timeline (to any location but the first column), the Timeline pretends to have a tempo marker in the beginning holding the current Song::m_fBpm (the tempo set via the BPM widget). This special first marker can only be "removed" by the user by adding a TempoMarker to the first column. In addition, it's tempo gets updated when toggling the Timeline. This, it does not immediately respond to changes of the song tempo (using the BPM widget or MIDI/OSC commands). The special tempo marker is prepended in the getAllTempoMarkers() functions.

The calling function will not notice any difference between the provided TempoMarkers and has to use isFirstTempoMarkerSpecial() instead.

All methods altering the TempoMarker and Tag are members of this class and the former are added as const structs to m_tempoMarkers or m_tags. To alter one of them, one has to delete it and add a new, altered version.

void activate ( )

Registers the current playback tempo to m_fDefaultBpm.

Definition at line 41 of file Timeline.cpp.

◆ addTag()

void addTag	(	int	nColumn,
		QString	sTag )

Adds a Tag to the Timeline.

Fails if there is already a Tag present at nColumn.

Definition at line 180 of file Timeline.cpp.

◆ addTempoMarker()

void addTempoMarker	(	int	nColumn,
		float	fBpm )

Adds a TempoMarker to the Timeline.

Fails if there is already a TempoMarker present at nColumn.

Parameters

nColumn	Position of the Timeline to query for a tempo marker.
fBpm	New tempo in beats per minute. All values below 30 and above 500 will be cut.

Definition at line 52 of file Timeline.cpp.

◆ deactivate()

void deactivate ( )

Convencience function in order to create a symmetric pair with activate.

Definition at line 45 of file Timeline.cpp.

◆ deleteAllTags()

void deleteAllTags ( )

inline

Definition at line 239 of file Timeline.h.

◆ deleteAllTempoMarkers()

void deleteAllTempoMarkers ( )

inline

Deletes all TempoMarkers set by the user.

But not the special one.

Definition at line 236 of file Timeline.h.

◆ deleteTag()

void deleteTag ( int nColumn )

Parameters

nColumn Position of the Timeline to delete the tag at (if one is present).

Definition at line 196 of file Timeline.cpp.

◆ deleteTempoMarker()

void deleteTempoMarker ( int nColumn )

Delete all tempo markers except for the first one and mark the tempo of the Timeline m_bUnset.

Parameters

nColumn Position of the Timeline to delete the tempo marker at (if one is present).

Definition at line 77 of file Timeline.cpp.

◆ getAllTags()

const std::vector< std::shared_ptr< const Timeline::Tag > > getAllTags ( ) const

inline

Returns: std::vector<std::shared_ptr<const Tag>> Provides read-only access to m_tags.

Definition at line 242 of file Timeline.h.

◆ getAllTempoMarkers()

const std::vector< std::shared_ptr< const Timeline::TempoMarker > > getAllTempoMarkers ( ) const

Returns: std::vector<std::shared_ptr<const TempoMarker>> Provides read-only access to m_tempoMarker.

Definition at line 150 of file Timeline.cpp.

◆ getTagAtColumn()

const QString getTagAtColumn ( int nColumn ) const

Returns the tag of the Song at a given column.

Parameters

nColumn Position of the Timeline to query for a tag.

The function returns "" if the column is positioned before the first tag or none is present at all.

Definition at line 210 of file Timeline.cpp.

◆ getTempoAtColumn()

float getTempoAtColumn ( int nColumn ) const

Returns the tempo of the Song at a given column.

There does not have to be a TempoMarker present at nColumn as the function takes all preceding ones into account as well.

Parameters

nColumn Position of the Timeline to query for a tempo marker.

Definition at line 90 of file Timeline.cpp.

◆ getTempoMarkerAtColumn()

std::shared_ptr< const Timeline::TempoMarker > getTempoMarkerAtColumn ( int nColumn ) const

Definition at line 133 of file Timeline.cpp.

◆ hasColumnTag()

bool hasColumnTag ( int nColumn ) const

Definition at line 224 of file Timeline.cpp.

◆ hasColumnTempoMarker()

bool hasColumnTempoMarker ( int nColumn ) const

Definition at line 124 of file Timeline.cpp.

◆ isFirstTempoMarkerSpecial()

bool isFirstTempoMarkerSpecial ( ) const

Whether there is a TempoMarker introduced by the user at the first column.

If not, the Timeline pretends that there is one by returning the current Song's tempo. The latter is referred to by "special tempo marker".

Definition at line 116 of file Timeline.cpp.

◆ setDefaultBpm()

void setDefaultBpm ( float fDefaultBpm )

Definition at line 48 of file Timeline.cpp.

◆ sortTags()

void sortTags ( )

private

Definition at line 233 of file Timeline.cpp.

◆ sortTempoMarkers()

void sortTempoMarkers ( )

private

Definition at line 175 of file Timeline.cpp.

◆ toQString()

QString toQString	(	const QString &	sPrefix = "",
		bool	bShort = true ) const

overridevirtual

Formatted string version for debugging purposes.

Parameters

sPrefix	String prefix which will be added in front of every new line
bShort	Instead of the whole content of all classes stored as members just a single unique identifier will be displayed without line breaks.

Returns: String presentation of current object.

Reimplemented from Base.

Definition at line 239 of file Timeline.cpp.

Field Documentation

◆ m_fDefaultBpm

float m_fDefaultBpm

private

Tempo used for the special tempo marker.

It's the task of the calling function to ensure this is set to the last Song::m_fBpm when activating the Timeline.
