Rename the bubbles.ui component #22

Closed colinbdclark closed 5 years ago

colinbdclark commented 5 years ago

As @amb26 pointed out in a conversation, the root component grade name of the renderer-side of Bubbles (currently bubbles.ui) is confusing. "It would help to give the thing at the top of your tree a more descriptive and lengthy name, since it will be the key mediator in this process."

This root component represents the whole of the browser-side of the application, and should be named to correspond with what Bubbles does.

Some possibilities, good and bad, include:

The key thing about Bubbles is that it provides a way to define the materials of a live "composition"—its layers and videos and modulations (perhaps this is the score?)—as well as to play it back in realtime on the stage, all in one application.

Currently I'm leaning towards renaming what is currently the compositionPanel to the scorePanel, and then to treat the Bubbles root component as representing the overall composition, including both its score and its performance on the stageView.
