Resolves: #32536

Summary

Expose the score’s measures and frames to QML plug-ins through curScore.measures.

Description

Plug-ins that process a whole score currently need to build their own list of measures either by getting curScore.systems then iterating through system.measures, or by getting curScore.firstMeasure then repeatedly calling nextMeasure().

This PR adds a read-only measures property to curScore that provides direct access to measures and frames in score order, making measure loops in plugins a lot more straightforward.

Indexed access uses a lazily rebuilt, non-owning index in the score's measure-base list. Structural mutations clear the index, preserving live score order while making subsequent indexed lookups O(1).

Validation

The following commands completed successfully:

git diff --check
git diff --cached --check
git diff upstream/main...HEAD --check
_deps/uncrustify/bin/uncrustify -c muse/tools/codestyle/uncrustify_muse.cfg --check -l CPP src/engraving/api/v1/score.cpp src/engraving/api/v1/score.h src/engraving/dom/measurebase.cpp src/engraving/dom/measurebase.h src/engraving/tests/measure_tests.cpp
cmake --build builds/Mac-Qtopt-qt-Ninja-Release --target engraving_tests -j 8
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=offscreen builds/Mac-Qtopt-qt-Ninja-Release/src/engraving/tests/engraving_tests --gtest_filter='Engraving_MeasureTests.*'

Before removing the added regression test, all 25 measure tests passed, including the cache ordering, bounds and invalidation test. That test has now been removed; no new test is included in this PR. The implementation is unchanged. Uncrustify version: 0.74.0. The build emitted dependency deployment-target warnings; the tests emitted logging/fixture warnings but exited successfully.

Before the indexed-access follow-up, the following build/install commands also passed:

cmake --build builds/Mac-Qtopt-qt-Ninja-Release --target src/engraving/CMakeFiles/engraving.dir/api/v1/score.cpp.o -j 4
cmake --build builds/Mac-Qtopt-qt-Ninja-Release --target mscore -j 6
cmake --install builds/Mac-Qtopt-qt-Ninja-Release

I opened the development app and tested curScore.measures; initial manual testing worked. The indexed-access follow-up was build- and unit-tested, but not manually retested in the app. No other PR referencing #32536 was found when preparing this submission.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Score API now exposes a read-only measures QML property. The property provides score measures and frames in score order. MeasureBaseList adds cached indexed access and invalidates the cache after list mutations. The accessor validates indexes and returns score-owned measure objects.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8daff

The new read-only measures API enables plug-ins to enumerate score content, but iterating large scores may become noticeably slow because each indexed lookup walks the list again. Resolve the indexed-access performance issue before merge.

574-576: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Avoid quadratic indexed access for Score::measures().

When QML reads all items by index, each QQmlListProperty<MeasureBase> lookup starts at measures->first() and follows index links. This produces O(n²) traversal and can add significant latency for plug-ins processing large scores.

Provide O(1) indexed access or a cached indexed representation with defined invalidation and lifetime semantics.

577-578: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Avoid quadratic enumeration of curScore.measures.

Each indexed lookup walks from first() to the requested index. A plug-in that reads all n entries by index performs O(n²) next() calls. Use an indexable, score-owned cache with defined invalidation on measure-list mutations, or expose a container with O(1) indexed access.
