Utility functions

// Reads the entire content of a file
let data = Util.readFile("/path/to/file.txt");

// Layouts a text so that it fits a rect of a given width by 
// adding line breaks. Naive algorithm.
// Arguments are: 
// - text to lay out
// - font to use
// - font size
// - maximum width in pixels
let text = Util.layoutTextLines("some long text", "Monospace", 24, 100);

Undo-redo and general helpers

// Find an object by name
let obj = Score.find("Interval.foobar");
  
// Get a reference to the object first selected in the score
let obj = Score.selectedObject();

// Get a reference to all the objects currently selected in the score
let objs = Score.selectedObjects();

// Get a reference to the current root document object
let doc = Score.document();
  
// Undo-redo:
Score.undo();
Score.redo();

// Undo-redo macros: 
// this is so that commands that do multiple 
// changes to the score, e.g. by adding multiple processes,
// only show up as one single action in the undo-redo panel.
// Every action that changes the score must be between these two calls.
Score.startMacro();
Score.endMacro();

UI

// This function allows to show a prompt to the user.
// The object passed in argument allows to configure the UI to show. 
// They will be shown as a UI form.
// The return value will be the list of values that the user has set on every widget if the prompt was accepted, and 'undefined' otherwise.

const res = Score.prompt({
  title: "Input JSON",
  widgets: [ 
    { name:"Name", type: "lineedit", init: "Hello" },
    { name:"JSON", type: "textfield" },
    { name:"Foo", type: "spinbox", min: 0, max: 100, init: 10 },
    { name:"Bar", type: "slider", min: 0.5, max: 10.2, init: 1.0 },
    { name:"Baz", type: "checkbox", init: false }
  ]
});

// Res could look like: 
// ["text", "long text", 30, 4.6, true]

Functions operating on devices

// Converts a device tree to JSON.

// See the QML code examples in the library.

// - parent scenario
// - At which time the interval is created (e.g. "00:01:15.345" for 1 minute 15 seconds 345 millis)
// - How long it lasts (same format)
// - Which vertical position (between [0;1] (top;bottom))

// Set the value of a port (only relevant for ports with UI controls)
Score.setValue(port1, 0.34);

// Access the metadata object of an object. Allows to see the label, comments, etc

// Create an automation on the given interval from an address

Functions operating on curves

// Set a curve from a list of points:
