    Accessors

    • get font(): string

      Returns the CSS compatible font string for the text font.

      Returns string

    • set font(f: string): void

      Provide a CSS compatible font string (e.g., 'bold 16px Arial') that will be applied to text (not glyphs).

      Parameters

      • f: string

      Returns void

    • get fontSize(): string

      Returns string

      a CSS font-size string (e.g., '18pt', '12px', '1em').

    • set fontSize(size: string | number): void

      The size is 1) a string of the form '10pt' or '16px', compatible with the CSS font-size property. or 2) a number, which is interpreted as a point size (i.e. 12 == '12pt').

      Parameters

      • size: string | number

      Returns void

    • get fontSizeInPixels(): number

      Returns number

      the font size in px.

    • get fontSizeInPoints(): number

      Returns number

      the font size in pt.

    • get fontStyle(): string

      Returns string

      a CSS font-style string (e.g., 'italic').

    • set fontStyle(style: string): void

      Set the font style.

      Parameters

      • style: string

      Returns void

    • get fontWeight(): string

      Returns string

      a CSS font-weight string (e.g., 'bold'). As in CSS, font-weight is always returned as a string, even if it was set as a number.

    • set fontWeight(weight: string | number): void

      Set the font weight.

      Parameters

      • weight: string | number

      Returns void

    Methods

    • Adds a child to the Element, which lets it inherit the same style as the parent when setGroupStyle() is called.

      Examples of children are noteheads and stems. Modifiers such as Accidentals are generally not set as children.

      Note that StaveNote calls setGroupStyle() when setStyle() is called.

      Parameters

      Returns this

    • Create new stems for the notes in the beam, so that each stem extends into the beams.

      Returns void

    • Set which note indexes to break the secondary beam at.

      Parameters

      • indexes: number[]

      Returns this

    • Calculate a slope and y-shift for flat beams.

      Returns void

    • Calculate the best possible slope for the provided notes.

      Returns void

    • Draw the element and all its sub-elements (i.e.: Modifiers in a Stave) with the element's style (see getStyle() and setStyle())

      Returns this

    • Get the max number of beams in the set of notes.

      Returns number

    • Get the x coordinates for the beam lines of specific duration.

      Parameters

      • duration: string

      Returns { end?: number; start: number }[]

    • Returns string

      a CSS font-size string (e.g., '18pt', '12px', '1em'). See Element.fontSizeInPixels or Element.fontSizeInPoints if you need to get a number for calculation purposes.

    • Parameters

      • x: number
      • firstX: number

        specified in pixels.

      • firstY: number

        specified in pixels.

      • slope: number

      Returns number

      the y coordinate for linear function.

    • Check if it has a class label (An element can have multiple class labels).

      Parameters

      • className: string

      Returns boolean

    • Return upper level beam direction.

      Parameters

      • duration: string
      • prevTick: number
      • tick: number
      • nextTick: number
      • noteIndex: number

      Returns PartialBeamDirection

    • Post-format the beam. This can only be called after the notes in the beam have both x and y values. ie: they've been formatted and have staves.

      Returns void

    • Set an attribute such as 'id', 'class', or 'type'.

      Parameters

      • name: string
      • value: undefined | string

      Returns this

    • Set the element's text font family, size, weight, style (e.g., Arial, 10pt, bold, italic).

      This attribute does not determine the font used for musical Glyphs like treble clefs.

      Parameters

      • Optionalfont: string | FontInfo

        is 1) a FontInfo object or 2) a string formatted as CSS font shorthand (e.g., 'bold 10pt Arial') or 3) a string representing the font family (at least one of size, weight, or style must also be provided).

      • Optionalsize: string | number

        a string specifying the font size and unit (e.g., '16pt'), or a number (the unit is assumed to be 'pt').

      • Optionalweight: string | number

        is a string (e.g., 'bold', 'normal') or a number (100, 200, ... 900).

      • Optionalstyle: string

        is a string (e.g., 'italic', 'normal'). If no arguments are provided, then the font is set to the default font. Each Element subclass may specify its own default by overriding the static TEXT_FONT property.

      Returns this

    • Change the font size, while keeping everything else the same.

      Parameters

      • Optionalsize: string | number

      Returns this

    • Forces the direction of a partial beam (a secondary-level beam that exists on one note only of the beam group). This is useful in rhythms such as 6/8 eighth-sixteenth-eighth-sixteenth, where the direction of the beam on the first sixteenth note can help imply whether the rhythm is to be felt as three groups of eighth notes (typical) or as two groups of three-sixteenths (less common):

       ┌───┬──┬──┐      ┌──┬──┬──┐
      │ ├─ │ ─┤ vs │ ─┤ │ ─┤
      │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │

      Parameters

      Returns Beam

    • Set the element style used to render.

      Example:

      element.setStyle({ fillStyle: 'red', strokeStyle: 'red' });
      element.drawWithStyle();

      Note: If the element draws additional sub-elements (i.e.: Modifiers in a Stave), the style can be applied to all of them by means of the context:

      element.setStyle({ fillStyle: 'red', strokeStyle: 'red' });
      element.getContext().setFillStyle('red');
      element.getContext().setStrokeStyle('red');
      element.drawWithStyle();

      or using drawWithStyle:

      element.setStyle({ fillStyle: 'red', strokeStyle: 'red' });
      element.drawWithStyle();

      Parameters

      Returns this

    • Restore the default direction of a partial beam (a secondary-level beam that does not connect to any other notes).

      Parameters

      • noteIndex: number

      Returns Beam

    • A helper function to automatically build basic beams for a voice. For more complex auto-beaming use Beam.generateBeams().

      • OptionalstemDirection: number

      • Optionalgroups: Fraction[]

        an array of Fraction representing beat groupings for the beam

      Returns Beam[]

    • A helper function to autimatically build beams for a voice with configuration options.

      Example configuration object:

      config = {
      groups: [new VexFlow.Fraction(2, 8)],
      stemDirection: -1,
      beamRests: true,
      beamMiddleOnly: true,
      showStemlets: false
      };

      Parameters

    • Get the default beam groups for a provided time signature. Attempt to guess if the time signature is not found in table. Currently this is fairly naive.

      Returns Fraction[]

    • Measure the text using the FontInfo related with key.

      Parameters

      • text: string
