Depends on musescore/muse_framework#362; this PR updates the muse submodule to it.

The build printed warnings like:

Warning: bendgridcanvas.h:41: muse::uicomponents::QuickPaintedView is used as base type but cannot be found.
Warning: textstylepopupmodel.h:37: notation::AbstractElementPopupModel is used as base type but cannot be found.

qmltyperegistrar only knows the metatypes of the libraries a QML module links against. Listing a module under IMPORTS is not enough, so the QML modules that derive from types in muse_uicomponents_qml or notationscene_qml now link those: appshell, instrumentsscene, palette, playback, project and propertiespanel. (The accompanying Asyncable / Contextable warnings only appeared because the QObject base could not be resolved.)

The items of SelectableItemListModel subclasses now derive from QObject directly, following muse_framework, where the nested SelectableItemListModel::Item (which moc could not see) was dropped.

The two remaining char16_t is used as enum type but cannot be found warnings are a qmltyperegistrar limitation and are left alone.

📝 Walkthrough

Several QML list-item classes now inherit directly from QObject. Related model collections and iterations now use QObject pointers or ItemList. The change also updates the muse subproject reference and adds private QML target links.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 288da

The notation text-style popup may fail to register or load because its QML module dependency is undeclared. This is a localized risk; declare the import before merging or explicitly accept the affected popup workflow.

qmltyperegistrar only knows the metatypes of the libraries a QML module
links against, so modules deriving from types in muse_uicomponents_qml or
notationscene_qml must link those, not just import them.

Also updates muse_framework, where SelectableItemListModel::Item became the
top-level SelectableItem (moc does not support Q_OBJECT in nested classes,
so the nested class could never be found).

Follows muse_framework, where SelectableItem was dropped because it added
nothing over QObject.

Declare the NotationScene QML dependency.

TextStylePopup.qml imports MuseScore.NotationScene, derives from AbstractElementPopup, and uses TextTypes. ElementPopupLoader.qml instantiates TextStylePopup in the notation popup path. target_link_libraries() does not provide QML import metadata or import paths. Without TARGET notationscene_qml in IMPORTS, QML registration or loading can leave this dependency unresolved.

Re. the code rabbit comment: that's pre-existing, and currently unsolvable: propertiespanel is declared before notationscene so can't declare it to QML as a TARGET … dependency (targets specified to QML that way are apparently evaluated immediately, unlike linking dependencies). Swapping the order is not an option, because both modules depend on each other in a cycle, and the dependency in the other direction has been declared, so needs the current order. Cleaning up the cyclic dependency is out of scope for this PR.
However, at runtime it makes no difference anyway.
