Description:
Add native support for Apple’s
Genmoji
across labels, text widgets, button captions, clip names, menus, and setlist items—complete with inline insertion, precise scaling/baseline alignment, tint/contrast modes, and portable fallbacks so projects remain readable on devices that don’t support Genmoji natively.Problem:
Performers increasingly use Genmoji for fast, language-agnostic labeling. Today, custom Genmoji can render inconsistently (or not at all) across devices/OS versions, break line height/spacing, and aren’t reliably portable between projects or external displays.
Proposed Solution:
- Rendering & Baseline:Use system Genmoji on compatible iPadOS versions; ensurepixel-crisp scalingandbaseline-correctalignment inside mixed text. Provide line-height guards so Genmoji never clip or push adjacent text.
- Embed & Fallbacks:Option toEmbed Genmoji as Assets(multi-resolution raster + optional vector/PDF when available) for cross-device portability. On load, if Genmoji isn’t available, auto-swap to the embedded asset; if neither exists, fallback tonearest Unicode emoji/iconwith a warning badge.
- Picker & Management:A Genmoji-awareemoji pickerwith search, recents, and categories. Tools toReplace Selection with Genmoji,Convert to Static Image, orRevert to Live Genmoji.
- Styling Controls:Full-color orMonochrome Tint(theme-aware), size (% of text size), stroke/outline for high contrast, and “do not exceed” height caps for dense grids.
- Portability & Export:Pack embedded Genmoji with the project (manifest shows size impact). Support inStage Display, PDF export, and screenshots.
- Accessibility:Alt text/VoiceOver descriptions; compliance with contrast settings and “reduce motion/flash.”
- Actions & Variables:
- Actions:
Insert Genmoji
, Replace With Genmoji
, Embed/Unembed Genmoji
, Toggle Tint Mode
, Convert to Static Image
. - Vars:
text.containsGenmoji
, genmoji.count
, genmoji.embedded
, genmoji.tintMode
, widget.lineHeightGuard
.Benefits:
- Faster recognition on stage with expressive, language-neutral symbols.
- Consistent renderingacross devices and exports thanks to embed/fallback.
- Cleaner layouts (icons in text) without custom art pipelines.
- Accessible and theme-aware visuals that hold up under bright or dark conditions.
Examples:
- A Recordbutton label includes a tinted Genmoji ● that pulses only while recording.
- Setlist items display per-song Genmoji (🎤/🎻/🪘) that remain intact when sharing the project.
- A text widget shows state-driven Genmoji (play/stop/armed) using monochrome tint to match the page theme.
- On an older backup iPad, embedded Genmoji assets render identically with no missing-glyph surprises.
