Unison chords with diverging numbers of dots

rettinghaus commented 1 week ago

Describe the problem If a unison chord has diverging numbers of dots they are printed directly after the notepads instead after the chord.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Load the data attached
Render page X
See error

Expected behavior Two lines of dots should be displayed after the chord, one for each notehead.

Out of curiosity, do you have a real life example for it?

rettinghaus commented 1 week ago

No, not really. Stumbled upon this with an encoding found online, where the chord and every note has encoded dots.

lpugin commented 1 week ago

FWIW, this is what MuseScore does However, as far as I know, there is no way to have different numbers of dots. I would suggest closing this issue, it can be reopen if a clear use-case comes up.

rettinghaus commented 1 week ago

I made it low priority. 😉 When the dots only are present on the chord Verovio works fine. Not if they are also on the notes (there will be a warning though). Maybe we can at least handle these cases more gracefully?

lpugin commented 1 week ago

I made it low priority. 😉

Yes, I saw that. I am suggesting to lower it further 😉

Verovio expectation is there should be no note in the chord with a longer duration (including dots) than the chord duration. So something like:

<chord dur="2">
   <note dots="1"/>
   <note dots="1"/>
</chord>

is problematic because the duration of the notes is longer than that of the chord.

This should be fine:

<chord dur="2">
   <note/>
   <note dur="4" dots="1"/>
</chord>
