## Description

ClutterScore is a base class for sequencing multiple timelines in order. Using ClutterScore it is possible to start multiple timelines at the same time or launch multiple timelines when a particular timeline has emitted the ClutterTimeline::completed signal.

Each time a ClutterTimeline is started and completed, a signal will be emitted.

For example, this code will start two ClutterTimelines after a third timeline terminates:

    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6
    7
    8
    9
    10
    11
    12
    13
    14

    ClutterTimeline *timeline_1, *timeline_2, *timeline_3;
    ClutterScore *score;

    timeline_1 = clutter_timeline_new_for_duration (1000);
    timeline_2 = clutter_timeline_new_for_duration (500);
    timeline_3 = clutter_timeline_new_for_duration (500);

    score = clutter_score_new ();

    clutter_score_append (score, NULL,       timeline_1);
    clutter_score_append (score, timeline_1, timeline_2);
    clutter_score_append (score, timeline_1, timeline_3);

    clutter_score_start (score);

A ClutterScore takes a reference on the timelines it manages, so timelines can be safely unreferenced after being appended.

New timelines can be appended to the ClutterScore using `clutter_score_append()` and removed using `clutter_score_remove()`.

Timelines can also be appended to a specific marker on the parent timeline, using `clutter_score_append_at_marker()`.

The score can be cleared using `clutter_score_remove_all()`.

The list of timelines can be retrieved using `clutter_score_list_timelines()`.

The score state is controlled using `clutter_score_start()`, `clutter_score_pause()`, `clutter_score_stop()` and `clutter_score_rewind()`. The state can be queried using `clutter_score_is_playing()`.

ClutterScore is available since Clutter 0.6
