Hello again, The demo selection filter is going along nicely, but I've been thinking about extending the filter to be able to filter all element types. Right now I have defined a new enum that contains, 4 voice types for each of the voices, articulation, dynamic, lyrics. After fixing the text elements behavior for selections, I have realized that there should be a way to filter any text element. Why should we limit other types as well?
My only arguments against adding a filter for each time, is the selection window. There are more than 60 element types, and it would be difficult for the user to pick the filter he/she may want. A partial solution to this would be similar to the palette widget. The window would be organized by grouping element types into groups. There would be a checkbox for a element group, and for each element. Checking the group checkbox, would enable filters for all elements in the group. A user could also hide the category contents, and just work on the groups. The other argument is that the filter would have to be extended to hold enough bits for each element type. This could be solved by a std::bitset, so it's not that much of a problem. Changing it to more specific elements would also allow to add a new interesting functionality, where a user would right click on an element and add or remove the element type from the selection. Right now this is impossible, because a user might want to keep an element type, that shares the same filter with the element that is deselected. I have also decided to create a list of possible actions that use a list. Later I will make sure that all these actions work correctly with the filter. 1. Cut - Copy - Paste 2. Delete 3. Inspector - modification of elements properties 4. Toggle visibilty 5. Change voice 6. Move notes an interval higher/lower Is there anything else I have missed? I would greatly appreciate your input.
