Resolves: #34809

Description

When a staff has 2+ voices and each voice's note has a grace note tied to
it via a slur, running Tools > Explode moves each voice down to its own
staff but drops the slur between the grace note and its main note on any
staff that isn't the original top staff. The voice that stays in place
keeps its slur.

Root cause

ImplodeExplode::explode() separates voices onto different staves via
CloneVoice::cloneVoice(..., link=false). In doCloneVoice()
(src/engraving/editing/clonevoice.cpp), the code that reconnects a
cloned slur/hairpin/hammer-on-pull-off to its new start/end ChordRest
looked up the correspondence through the old element's links() list -
a mechanism that is only populated for linked clones (linkedClone(),
used by the "exchange voice" feature with link=true), never for the
plain clone() used by Explode/Implode (link=false). So this lookup
silently failed for Explode.

Ordinary (non-grace) notes were rescued anyway by a later fallback,
Spanner::findStartCR()/findEndCR(), which re-resolves a dangling
spanner endpoint via Score::findCR(tick, track). That fallback can only
reach the ChordRest actually stored in a Segment's track slot - never a
grace chord, which shares its parent's tick and is a child of the main
Chord rather than that stored object. So a slur anchored on a grace note
had no way to be recovered, and was silently dropped.

Fix

Added a ChordRest -> clone map in doCloneVoice() (reusing the
existing generic ElementMap type already used by TieMap/TupletMap
in the same function - no new class needed), populated for both main
chords and grace chords while cloning. The slur/hairpin/hammer-on-pull-off
reconnection code now looks up this map first, falling back to the
previous links()-based search only for endpoints outside the cloned
range. This fixes the reconnection uniformly for both link modes, rather
than special-casing grace notes.

Testing

  • All 7 existing Engraving_ImplodeExplodeTests unit tests pass (no
    regression).

  • Manually built and installed the app; reproduced the reported scenario
    (2 voices, each with a slurred grace note, Explode) and confirmed both
    slurs are now preserved after Explode.

  • The title of the PR describes the problem it addresses.

  • Each commit's message describes its purpose and effects, and references the issue it resolves. If changes are extensive, there is a sequence of easily reviewable commits.

  • The code compiles and runs on my machine, preferably after each commit individually. I have manually tested and verified that my changes fulfil their intended purpose.

  • No prior attempts to resolve this problem exist, or if they do, I listed them in my PR description and described how I avoided repeating past mistakes.

  • There are no unnecessary changes.

  • I created a unit test or vtest to verify the changes I made (if applicable).

Explode/Implode clone voices between staves via CloneVoice::cloneVoice()
with unlinked clones. The slur-reconnection code in doCloneVoice() looked
up the new start/end ChordRest through the old element's links() list,
which is only populated for linked clones (the "exchange voice" case),
so it silently failed to reconnect slurs for Explode/Implode. Plain notes
were rescued by a later tick/track-based fallback in
Spanner::findStartCR()/findEndCR(), but that fallback can only resolve to
the ChordRest actually stored in a Segment's track slot - never a grace
chord, which shares its parent's tick. So a slur anchored on a grace note
had no way to be recovered and was dropped.

Add a ChordRest -> clone map (reusing the existing ElementMap type used
by TieMap/TupletMap) populated for both main chords and grace chords
while cloning, and consult it first when reconnecting slurs/hairpins/
hammer-on-pull-offs, falling back to the old links()-based lookup for
any endpoint outside the cloned range.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

doCloneVoice now maps source ChordRest and grace chords to their clones. It excludes skipped full-measure rests from the map. Copied slurs, hairpins, and hammer-on/pull-off spanners use the mappings to resolve endpoints. Unmapped endpoints use the existing score, tick, and track lookup.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 4d38f

Explode now preserves spanners connected to grace notes when voices move to separate staves. No current merge-blocking risk is identified.

Comment thread src/engraving/editing/clonevoice.cpp Outdated
crMap.add(ocr, ncr) ran before the full-measure-rest early-exit for
non-first voices, so a rest that got skipped (never added to the
destination score) was still registered as the clone of ocr. A hairpin
anchored on that rest would then resolve its endpoint to this orphaned,
unattached clone instead of falling back to the tick/track lookup.

Move the crMap.add() call after the skip check, so only ChordRests that
actually survive into the destination score are ever returned as a
spanner endpoint.
