Description

Task description
This is the first implementation task to introduce Automation in MuseScore 4. Users should be able to:

  • Toggle showing automation on the score via an 'Automation' button in the top bar
  • Add, move, and delete points on the automation line
  • Draw custom automation by clicking and dragging
  • Bend line segments
  • Select from Dynamics (or Velocity for VSTs/Soundfonts), Pan, Volume, plugin-specific parameters, and MIDI CCs to automate
  • Choose which voice to automate
  • ...and more, as detailed in Figma!

A later task will handle drawing the default Dynamics (for MuseSounds) and Velocity (VSTs, Soundfounts) curves based on the dynamics in the score.
