    Returns StaveConnector

  • Set the element style used to render.

    Example:

    element.setStyle({ fillStyle: 'red', strokeStyle: 'red' });
    element.draw();

    Note: If the element draws additional sub-elements (ie.: Modifiers in a Stave), the style can be applied to all of them by means of the context:

    element.setStyle({ fillStyle: 'red', strokeStyle: 'red' });
    element.getContext().setFillStyle('red');
    element.getContext().setStrokeStyle('red');
    element.draw();

    or using drawWithStyle:

    element.setStyle({ fillStyle: 'red', strokeStyle: 'red' });
    element.drawWithStyle();

    Parameters

    Returns StaveConnector

  • setText(text: string, options?: { shift_x?: number; shift_y?: number }): StaveConnector
  • Set optional associated Text.

    Parameters

    • text: string
    • options: { shift_x?: number; shift_y?: number } = {}
      • Optional shift_x?: number
