Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change makes stave sharing instrument-aware at each score tick. Shared-part comparisons now accept a tick, and single-staff parts with multiple instruments can enter stave-sharing groups. Layout checks instrument identity during voice, unison, and stave decisions. Instrument-change annotations receive optional player-number prefixes. Shared names resolve from origin parts. Instrument numbering and base-instrument label restoration are updated. A new style setting and dialog checkbox control player numerals.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to dd6ec

The change can still group parts with the same instrument ID but different transpositions, producing incorrect notation, and a tick-zero naming mismatch may suppress shared-stave names in later systems. The PR is not merge-ready until these behaviors are corrected or explicitly accepted by the owner.

1148-1187: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Simultaneous instrument-change labels on the same shared track overwrite each other.

The lookup at Line 1155 matches an existing shared InstrumentChange item by track and type only, ignoring xmlText. This lets two different origin tracks that map to the same sharedTrack reuse one shared item. When a second origin item (originItem2) reuses that shared item, Line 1184 recomputes text from originItem2's own xmlText() and calls sharedChange->setXmlText(text) unconditionally, replacing the text set for the first origin item (originItem1).

This happens when two origin parts converge on the same final instrument at the same tick (for example, an oboist and a clarinetist both cueing into flute at the same rehearsal mark on a shared staff). The shared label then shows only the second-processed origin's change text and silently drops the first origin's change text, even though both are connected via EngravingItem::connectSharedItem.

Compare this to formatUnisonLabel, which explicitly aggregates multiple origin instruments into one combined label. The InstrumentChange sharing path has no equivalent aggregation, so information is lost rather than combined.

Preserve both texts instead of overwriting, for example by concatenating when the shared item already carries a different text:

             if (sharedItem->isInstrumentChange()) {
                 InstrumentChange* originChange = toInstrumentChange(originItem);
                 InstrumentChange* sharedChange = toInstrumentChange(sharedItem);

                 const Staff* originStaff = ctx.layoutCtx.dom().staff(originChange->vStaffIdx());
                 const Part* originPart = originStaff ? originStaff->part() : nullptr;
                 if (originPart) {
                     String text = originChange->xmlText();
                     String prefix = ...;

                     text = prefix + text;
-                    sharedChange->setXmlText(text);
+                    const String existingText = sharedChange->xmlText();
+                    sharedChange->setXmlText(existingText.empty() || existingText == text ? text : existingText + u" / " + text);
                 }
             }

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Compare effective transposition as well as instrument ID.

isSameInstrumentsAtTick() treats matching Instrument::id() values as sufficient. Instrument::transpose() is a separate property, so two current instruments can share an ID but use different transposition intervals. This returns true for that pair and allows incompatible staves to share. Compare the effective transposition too, and keep StaveSharingLayout::sameInstrument consistent. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Keep shared-part naming tick-aware.

computeIsSameInstruments() now caches the result at tick zero. When a shared group starts with different effective instruments, this becomes false. SystemHeaderLayout::setSharedPartNames() then returns at its !sharedPart->isSameInstruments() guard, so it assigns no names even on later ticks where isSameInstrumentsAtTick(tick) is true. Remove the unconditional veto or make that caller use the current tick. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Compare transposition before grouping tracks.

sameInstrument() returns true when only Instrument::id() matches. Parts with the same instrument ID and different transpositions can therefore enter the unison, same-voice, and same-stave paths. Require the effective transposition at tick to match too.
