class neoscore.western.tab_string_text.TabStringText[source]

Bases: MusicText

SMuFL text centered on a tab staff line.

This also automatically adds a background brush which hides the tab staff line behind the text.

__init__(pos_x: Unit, staff: TabStaff, string: int, text: Union[MusicChar, str, Tuple[str, int], List[Union[MusicChar, str, Tuple[str, int]]]], font: Optional[MusicFont] = None, brush: Optional[Union[Brush, str]] = None, pen: Optional[Union[Pen, str]] = None, hide_background: bool = True, breakable: bool = True, alignment_x: AlignmentX = AlignmentX.CENTER, alignment_y: AlignmentY = AlignmentY.CENTER)[source]
Parameters

  • pos_x – The x position relative to the parent. The text will be centered around this position.

  • staff – The parent staff

  • string – The 1-indexed string number this should appear on

  • text – The text to display. Can be given as a SMuFL glyph name, or other shorthand forms. See MusicStringDef.

  • font – The font to use. Defaults to the staff’s font.

  • brush – The brush to fill in text shapes with.

  • pen – The pen to trace text outlines with. This defaults to no pen.

  • hide_background – Whether to paint over the background behind the text. Particularly useful for preventing overlaps with staff lines.

  • breakable – Whether this object should break across lines in Flowable containers.

  • alignment_x – The text’s horizontal alignment relative to pos. Note that the default value here is center-alignment, unlike most other text classes.

  • alignment_y – The text’s vertical alignment relative to pos. Note that the default value here is center-alignment, unlike most other text classes.
