Kinetic Scrolling of the Score

[tecknoflash-collab]

Hello,

It would be much more convenient for MuseScore users if the score continued to scroll after "dragging and releasing" the mouse (with gradual deceleration), that is, if it had inertial scrolling (or kinetic scrolling).

There is a 'Smooth scrolling' option in Edit > Preferences > Advanced.

But to be perfectly honest, while I understand what it's supposed to do, I haven't noticed any significant difference after checking the box and closing/reopening MuseScore.

MuseScore is primarily developed in C++ and uses the Qt framework for its graphical user interface.

After some research, I found that this module uses the QEasingCurve class (in C++ and QML), which allows defining the non-linear progression of animations (via classes like PropertyAnimation or QVariantAnimation) using many predefined types (such as InOutQuad, OutBounce, etc.), which are the equivalent of easing functions.

And modifying the code is relatively simple and quick.

Hmm, if you understand what that’s option is supposed to to, it’s pretty impossible to notice the major difference: either the score stays still while the cursor moves, or the cursor stays still while the score moves. Are you sure you understand it? It has nothing to so with any mouse or touch gesture.

Indeed, this option is completely unrelated. It doesn't change my request, which concerns moving the partition.

Yes, so if you'd like to see the developers consider this, be sure to open a feature request issue (search the issues first to be sure it isn't already requested).

It's done.
