Accessors

  • get font(): string
  • Returns the CSS compatible font string for the text font.

    Returns string

  • set font(f): 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 fontInfo(): Required<FontInfo>

  • Returns string

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

  • set fontSize(size): 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').

    • size: string | number

    Returns void

  • get fontSizeInPixels(): number
  • Returns number

    the font size in px.

    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.

  • Returns number

Methods

  • Adds a child Element 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 ChordSymbol

  • Add a glyph for each character in 'text'. If the glyph is not available, use text from the font. e.g. addGlyphOrText('(+5#11)') will use text for the '5' and '11', and glyphs for everything else.

    Parameters

    • text: string
    • params: Partial<{
          symbolModifier: SymbolModifiers;
      }> = {}

    Returns ChordSymbol

  • Add a glyph block with superscript modifier.

    Parameters

    • glyph: string

    Returns ChordSymbol

  • Add a line of the given width, used as a continuation of the previous symbol in analysis, or lyrics, etc.

    Parameters

    Returns ChordSymbol

  • Add a symbol to this chord, could be text, glyph or line.

    Parameters

    • parameters: Partial<{
          symbolModifier: SymbolModifiers;
          text: string;
      }>

    Returns ChordSymbol

  • Add a text block with subscript modifier.

    Parameters

    • text: string

    Returns ChordSymbol

  • Add a text block with superscript modifier.

    Parameters

    • text: string

    Returns ChordSymbol

  • Used in draw() to check and get the attached note (StaveNote, TabNote, etc.). Also verifies that the index is valid.

    Returns Note

  • Check and get note index, which is a specific note in a chord.

    Returns number

  • Render text and glyphs above/below the note.

    Returns void

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

    Returns void

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

    Parameters

    • name: string

          text: string;
      }> = {}

    Parameters

    • className: string

    Returns boolean

    Returns TextMetrics

  • Render the element text.

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • 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

    • Optional font: 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).

    • Optional size: string | number

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

    • Optional weight: string | number

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

    • Optional style: 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 ChordSymbol

  • Parameters

    • x: number
    • y: number

    Returns void

  • Set the element style used to render.

    Example:

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

    Note: If the element draws additional sub-elements (ie.: 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.draw();

    or using drawWithStyle:

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

    Parameters

    Returns ChordSymbol

  • Set vertical position of text (above or below stave).

    Parameters

    • vj: string | number

    Returns ChordSymbol

  • Estimate the width of the whole chord symbol, based on the sum of the widths of the individual blocks. Estimate how many lines above/below the staff we need.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

  • Returns undefined | HTMLCanvasElement | OffscreenCanvas

  • Measure the text using the FontInfo related with key.

    Parameters

    • text: string
    • key: string = ''
