Resolves: #34556

tagFraction takes a def argument which is (0, 1) by default. If the fraction passed in is equal then we don't write it. We need to be able to write the start of the score in this case, so we provide a default which we should never see here (-1, 0)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Spanner serialization now writes startTick with Fraction(-1, 0) as the default for segment-anchored spanners. Reference scores add explicit startTick values across engraving, Guitar Pro, MEI, MNX, and MusicXML tests. A new command-line tool scans MSCX files for spanners that contain ticks but lack direct startTick elements.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b61a9

The new validation helper may report success for malformed score files, allowing invalid data to pass automated checks. Merge should wait for the tool to return a failure status when parsing errors occur.

Check name Status Explanation Resolution
Description check ⚠️ Warning The description identifies issue #34556 and explains the root cause and fix, but it omits the required checklist. Add the template checklist and mark each item accurately, including testing, coding rules, unnecessary changes, and test coverage.
Out of Scope Changes check ⚠️ Warning Two MusicXML reference files change title-frame and VBox heights without an apparent link to spanner startTick serialization. Remove the unrelated height changes from testInferredCredits1_ref.mscx and testInferredCredits2_ref.mscx, unless they are required and documented.

Check name Status Explanation
Title check ✅ Passed The title clearly describes the primary fix for missing segment-anchored spanners at the start of a score.
Linked Issues check ✅ Passed The serialization change writes startTick 0/1 for segment-anchored spanners, addressing the first-measure hairpin regression in #34556.
Docstring Coverage ✅ Passed No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check.

Tested #34556 on Win10, Mac13.7.8 - FIXED

int t2 = static_cast<int>(item->track2()) + ctx.trackDiff();
xml.tag("track2", t2);
xml.tagFraction("startTick", item->tick());
xml.tagFraction("startTick", item->tick(), /* default = */ Fraction(-1, 0)); // Need to be able to write start of score, so a different default is needed

We could also add 2 versions of tagFraction and use here the one that doesn't require a def value:

void tagFraction(const AsciiStringView& name, const Fraction& v);
void tagFraction(const AsciiStringView& name, const Fraction& v, const Fraction& def);
