This week I focused on implementing the sheet music visualization component and integrating it with the existing playback pipeline. The main goal was to move the visualizer from a conceptual framework into a functional system that can display musical information in sync with playback.
Sheet Music Visualization Implementation
- Implemented the core sheet music visualization pipeline, enabling musical events to be rendered visually during playback.
- Added logic to map parsed musical events to visual elements, allowing notes to be displayed in their correct temporal order.
- Integrated playback position tracking so the visualizer updates in real time as the music progresses.
- Implemented basic note highlighting behavior to reflect currently active notes during playback.
- Ensured the visualization system cleanly interfaces with the existing event processing and playback logic.
Playback Integration
- Connected the sheet music visualizer to the playback system so visual updates are driven directly by playback timing.
- Refined event timing handling to keep visual transitions aligned with note-on and note-off events.
Verified that visualization remains stable across different tempos and musical passages.
Schedule
I am currently on schedule. The sheet music visualizer has moved from a prototype framework to a working implementation, and it is now integrated with the playback pipeline. The project continues to make steady progress toward a cohesive end-to-end system.
Deliverables for Next Week
- Improve visual clarity and layout of the sheet music display.
- Add support for additional musical elements (e.g., rests or measure boundaries).
- Continue testing synchronization between playback, visualization, and hardware output.
- Begin refining the visualizer UI based on usability considerations.
