Previously, this PR simply added a new signal to the Timeline class and had it emitted by the TimeLineWidget class in order to solve #7351.
However, as messmerd pointed out in his review comments, that was quite a hacky solution, and ideally the positionChanged signal would be solely managed by the backend Timeline class, while the frontend TimeLineWidget class would connect to those signals, instead of the other way around.
This PR is no longer a simple bugfix, but instead a refactoring of the Timeline/TimeLineWidget signal/slots.
Changes
- The positionChanged signal and updatePosition slot were removed from TimeLineWidget and moved to Timeline.
- Removed PlayPos, and instead store the timeline position in a TimePos along with a separate frame offset counter variable. The functions to set the ticks/timepos in Timeline emit the positionChanged signal. (Also, may emit positionJumped signal if the ticks were forcefully set--see below)
- The pos() method and PlayPos m_pos were removed from TimeLineWidget;
- The constructor for TimeLineWidget no longer requires a PlayPos reference.
- Since each TimeLineWidget stores a reference to its Timeline, a new method was added, timeline(), for other classes to access it.
- Removed array of PlayPos'es in Song. Now each Timeline holds their respective TimePos.
- Song's methods for getPlayPos were changed to return the TimePos of the respective Timeline. The non-const versions of the methods were removed because Timeline does not expose its TimePos to write.
- All of the places where Timelines are used were updated, along with their calls to access/modify the PlayPos. For example, occurrences of m_timeline->pos() were replaced with m_timeline->timeline()->pos(), and calls to m_timeline->pos().setTicks(ticks) were changed to m_timeline->timeline()->setTicks(ticks).
- ALSO: Removed m_elapsedMilliseconds, m_elapsedBars, and m_elapsedTicks from Song. The elapsed milliseconds is now handled individually by each Timeline.
- NEW: The m_jumped variable has been removed from Timeline. Now jumped events emit Timeline::positionJumped automatically whenever the ticks are forcefully set. This means it is no longer necessary to call timeline->setJumped(true) or timeline->setFrameOffset(0) whenever the playhead position is forcefully set. Many places in the codebase were already missing these calls, so this may fix some unknown bugs.
