# Beat Timeline

> A paused master-timeline orchestration spine that pins titled beat rows to evenly spaced named labels. Each row enters on its label, holds with the sequence, then exits with the group.

 * on the track is the default, and a double click puts the value back on it.
 *
 * And it printed the value in the label row, a fixed distance from a thumb that
 * moves, so reading a drag meant looking in two places at once. The value rides
 * the thumb instead.
 *
 * Still a real <input type="range">. Every custom slider on the web reimplements
 * keyboard stepping, touch, and the screen-reader contract, and most of them do
 * one of the three badly; none of what is added here needed the element
 * replaced. Nothing moves that a finger is not moving: the value tracks the

  <!--
    beat-timeline -- HyperFrames video primitive (transitions / sequencing / bridge)

    Concept: a visible orchestration spine made from a paused master GSAP
    timeline. Each beat row is pinned to an evenly spaced named label, then
    enters exactly on that mark. One mechanic, one job: bridge a sequence by
    making its deterministic beat grid readable and copy-and-own-able.

    Compiled-from evidence: launches-motion-vocabulary.md, "Paused, seeked
    timeline orchestration" census entry (15/18 projects, 134/159 files).

    Use when: a scene needs several titled beats to land in a clear order, or
    when a copied composition needs a legible master-timeline sequencing spine.

    Variables (declared in data-composition-variables below):
      - beatCount (number, default 4): integer row count, clamped to 2..6.
      - interval (number, default 0.6s): base spacing between named beat labels,
        clamped to 0.2..2s before any short-duration compression.
      - labels (string): comma-separated row titles. Missing entries fall back
        to "Beat N" and extra entries are ignored.

    Envelope (holdable orchestration adaptation, never gsap.timeScale()):
      ENTRANCE_SPAN = (beatCount - 1) * interval + ROW_IN_DURATION.
      HOLD = max(0, D - (ENTRANCE_SPAN + OUT_BASE)); every landed row remains
             fully visible and deliberately still during this elastic phase.
      OUT_BASE = 0.40s; all rows fade together with power2.in at D - OUT_BASE.
      If D is shorter than ENTRANCE_SPAN + OUT_BASE, interval and each row's
      entrance duration scale down together so the final row still lands before
      OUT. Only a host duration at or below OUT_BASE also compresses OUT, which
      keeps the full lifecycle inside an otherwise impossible time box.

    Sync points: beat labels are fixed offsets inside IN. Every label owns one
    declared SFX cue at the same offset, never inside elastic HOLD. Beats use
    "beat-tick" and the last beat uses "beat-tick-final". The primitive only
    dispatches bubbling hf:sfx events; scene-level audio mixing owns playback.

    Mount contract: this file is a mountable sub-composition. The runtime clones
    only <template> contents, so all live styles, markup, and scripts are inside
    the template. #root fills the host-owned box with no data-width/data-height,
    and all internal geometry is based on its own cqw/cqh container. Variables
    come from window.__hyperframes.getVariables(), because document.documentElement
    belongs to the host after mounting.

## Install

<InstallCommand command="npx hyperframes add beat-timeline" item="beat-timeline" />

That writes one file: `compositions/components/beat-timeline.html`.

## Paste it into your composition

Open `compositions/components/beat-timeline.html` and copy what is inside into your own composition.

A component has no size or duration of its own. It takes both from the composition
you paste it into.

## Variables

Every one of these has a default, so the piece works untouched. Set the ones you
want to change on the element:

| Variable    | Default              | Accepts                | What it does                                                                                                  |
| ----------- | -------------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `beatCount` | `4`                  | 2 to 6, step 1         | Number of beat rows in the sequence.                                                                          |
| `interval`  | `0.6`                | 0.2s to 2s, step 0.05s | Base time between consecutive beat markers.                                                                   |
| `labels`    | `One,Two,Three,Four` | string                 | Comma-separated beat titles, one per beat. Extra entries are ignored and missing entries fall back to Beat N. |

Set them with `data-variable-values` on the element that mounts it. These are the
defaults, so this behaves exactly like the preview above until you change one:

```html wrap theme={null}
<div
  data-composition-id="beat-timeline"
  data-composition-src="compositions/components/beat-timeline.html"
  data-variable-values='{"beatCount":4,"interval":0.6,"labels":"One,Two,Three,Four"}'
></div>
```

  <!--
    beat-timeline -- HyperFrames video primitive (transitions / sequencing / bridge)

    Concept: a visible orchestration spine made from a paused master GSAP
    timeline. Each beat row is pinned to an evenly spaced named label, then
    enters exactly on that mark. One mechanic, one job: bridge a sequence by
    making its deterministic beat grid readable and copy-and-own-able.

    Compiled-from evidence: launches-motion-vocabulary.md, "Paused, seeked
    timeline orchestration" census entry (15/18 projects, 134/159 files).

    Use when: a scene needs several titled beats to land in a clear order, or
    when a copied composition needs a legible master-timeline sequencing spine.

    Variables (declared in data-composition-variables below):
      - beatCount (number, default 4): integer row count, clamped to 2..6.
      - interval (number, default 0.6s): base spacing between named beat labels,
        clamped to 0.2..2s before any short-duration compression.
      - labels (string): comma-separated row titles. Missing entries fall back
        to "Beat N" and extra entries are ignored.

    Envelope (holdable orchestration adaptation, never gsap.timeScale()):
      ENTRANCE_SPAN = (beatCount - 1) * interval + ROW_IN_DURATION.
      HOLD = max(0, D - (ENTRANCE_SPAN + OUT_BASE)); every landed row remains
             fully visible and deliberately still during this elastic phase.
      OUT_BASE = 0.40s; all rows fade together with power2.in at D - OUT_BASE.
      If D is shorter than ENTRANCE_SPAN + OUT_BASE, interval and each row's
      entrance duration scale down together so the final row still lands before
      OUT. Only a host duration at or below OUT_BASE also compresses OUT, which
      keeps the full lifecycle inside an otherwise impossible time box.

    Sync points: beat labels are fixed offsets inside IN. Every label owns one
    declared SFX cue at the same offset, never inside elastic HOLD. Beats use
    "beat-tick" and the last beat uses "beat-tick-final". The primitive only
    dispatches bubbling hf:sfx events; scene-level audio mixing owns playback.

    Mount contract: this file is a mountable sub-composition. The runtime clones
    only <template> contents, so all live styles, markup, and scripts are inside
    the template. #root fills the host-owned box with no data-width/data-height,
    and all internal geometry is based on its own cqw/cqh container. Variables
    come from window.__hyperframes.getVariables(), because document.documentElement
    belongs to the host after mounting.
