Mixer: allow custom colors for instrument channels - #34754
Conversation
…olor Instrument channel titles can now be given a custom color: left-click selects a channel (Ctrl extends the selection, Shift range-selects), right-click opens a context menu with "Edit color…" / "Reset color". The chosen color also becomes the accent color for that channel's faders, knobs, and aux sends, so a track's color reads consistently across the whole strip. The color is persisted per-track through AudioOutputParams (a UI-only field, not sent to the audio engine) and round-tripped via ProjectAudioSettings' JSON (de)serialization, so it survives save/reload. Resolves: musescore#34753

- Line 141: Update the resetColor action’s enabled condition in
MixerTitleSection so it reflects the selected-channel state: enable it when any
selected channel has a custom color, allowing resetColorForSelectedChannels() to
run even when the right-clicked channel uses the default color.
In `@src/playback/qml/MuseScore/Playback/mixerpanelmodel.cpp`:
- Line 112: Update the selection-anchor handling around m_selectionAnchorIndex
so changes to m_mixerChannelList cannot leave the stored index pointing at a
different channel. Rebase the index when channels are inserted or removed before
it, or invalidate it when the anchor channel is removed, while preserving
correct Shift-click range selection.

Addresses CodeRabbit review on musescore#34754: - "Reset color" was disabled based on the right-clicked channel's own hasCustomColor, not the multi-selection's. Right-clicking an already-selected channel keeps the whole selection, so a default-colored channel within a mixed selection incorrectly disabled resetting the others. Drop the restriction, matching "Edit color..."'s always-enabled behavior. - m_selectionAnchorIndex was a plain list index never adjusted when channels were added/removed/reloaded, so it could end up pointing at the wrong channel and produce a wrong Shift-click range. Rebase it on insert/remove, invalidate it on removal-of-anchor and on full reload.

FYI, here's what the new color picker in this PR looks like:

Resolves: #34753
Instrument channel titles in the Mixer can now be given a custom color.
Left-click a title to select it (Ctrl/Cmd-click extends the selection,
Shift-click does a range selection), then right-click opens a context
menu with "Edit color…" / "Reset color". The chosen color becomes the
channel's title/border color and is also used as the accent color for
that channel's faders, knobs, and aux sends, so a track's color reads
consistently across the whole strip. The color is persisted per-track
and survives save/reload.
This requires the companion muse_framework PR
(musescore/muse_framework#262) which forces the cross-platform Qt
color dialog instead of each OS's native one, so the color picker
looks and behaves the same on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
