Score::switchToPageMode() is gone

This change happened 6 days ago in the PR to "update continuous view" here. I'm assuming this is a good thing, but I'd like to understand what happened, and more importantly: how to replace instances of switchToPageMode().

Looking at mscore/file.cpp, I see two different ways that is has been replaced:

1) Removing the line of code - i.e. it's no longer necessary

2) Replacing it with these lines of code:

if (layoutMode != LayoutMode::PAGE) { s->setLayoutMode(LayoutMode::PAGE); s->doLayout(); }

or similarly:

if (layoutMode != s->layoutMode()) { s->setLayoutMode(layoutMode); s->doLayout(); }

I am working with SVG exports and I used to have call switchToPageMode() prior to running the SVG export code, which iterates over all the elements in the score by page by system.

Should I simply remove my call to switchToPageMode(), or should I replace it with one of the blocks I quote above in #2?

Thanks,

Re: Score::switchToPageMode() is gone

OK, I believe I've solved this for the code I needed to change. I am replacing that line of code with the first example in #2 below. That code resides in exportFile(), and it still requires page mode to be set. I see now that the places where switchToPageMode() was removed in saveAs() are preempted by that same #2 block of code at the top of saveAs() - previously setting page mode multiple times, now setting page mode only once.

I am still curious, though, why not keep switchToPageMode() and have it wrap that #2 block of code? Isn't that what it was previously anyway? I see that previously it also created an undo stack, but why not simply change the contents of switchToPageMode() instead of eliminating it?

Thanks,
