- | The JW Accidentals plug-in helps you to provide useful cautionary accidentals in your documents. | + | (This documentation reflects version 1.02 of the plug-in.) |
- | {{:wiki:jwaccidentals:mainwindow.png?400|}} | + | The JW Accidentals plug-in is a tool to find cautionary accidentals in your documents. |
+ | |||
+ | The user interface contains 2 different parts: the **main window** and the **Profile Editor Window**. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====== Main Window ====== | ||

+ | {{:wiki:jwaccidentals:mainwindow.png?500|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ^ User Interface Element ^ Explanation ^^ | ||
+ | | **Profile Settings** popup | The list of the available settings profiles. || | ||
+ | | **Profile...** button | Opens the Profile Editor, where custom settings can be stored in tailor-made profiles. || | ||
+ | | **Scan** button | Pressing this will scan the selected area, using the selected Profile. || | ||
+ | | **Scan+Change** button | Pressing the button will scan and change the region directly. The results from the scan will not be listed in the report list, so use it with care. || | ||
+ | | **Close** button | Closes the main window. | | ||
+ | | Location details | When a proposed cautionary accidental is highlighted in the report list, the location text above the report list contains the detailed information about where the accidental and its reference can be found. || | ||
+ | | Report list | Contains the suggested accidentals found during the scan. Mark the accidentals that should be changed with a check mark to the left. Highlight a suggested to enable the buttons to the bottom left. //Double-click// on the list to toggle the check marks between "all ON" and "all OFF". || | ||
+ | | **( ) Toggle** button | Toggles the parenthesis state for the highlighted accidental in the report list. || | ||
+ | | **View** button | Pressing this will make sure the measure for the highlighted accidental line is visible on screen. The selected region will not change. || | ||
+ | | **[ ]** button | This button toggles between 2 or 3 different selections in the document for the highlighted accidental line => | The scanned region | | ||
+ | | ::: | ::: | The area around the note with the proposed accidental | | ||
+ | | ::: | ::: | The area around the note with the reference note (if available) | | ||
+ | | **Change Checked** button | Processes the checked proposed accidentals in the report list. || | ||
+ | | **Respace if necessary** checkbox | Check this if the music should be automatically spaced in the spots where the accidentals were added. Both score and parts are respaced, but only in the changed measures/parts. || | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ====== Profile Editor Window ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | {{:wiki:jwaccidentals:profileeditor.png?500|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | ^ Options ^ Description ^ | ||
+ | | Cross-Stave Checks | Controls if note material on other staves should be compared with the staff. | | ||
+ | | Layers as Independent Instruments | Controls if multiple layers on a staff should be treated as independent voices, where each layer would require its own set of accidentals. Example: 2 woodwind parts in layers on the same staff. | | ||
+ | | Chord Lines as Independent Instruments | Controls if chord lines should be treated as independent voices, where each line would require its own set of accidentals. Example: chordal string divisi parts on one staff. | | ||
+ | | Grand Staff as 1 Instrument | Controls if a grand staff should be treated as one instrument rather than as 2 (or 3) staves. On Finale 2012, grand staves are controlled by the Score Manager. On earlier Finale versions, the plug-in is guessing that a grand staff is a group with 2 staves with piano braces and a group name. | | ||
+ | | Independent Octaves on Same Instrument | If set, each octave require its own set of accidentals on an instrument. | | ||
+ | | Independent Octaves on Cross-Instrument | If set, each octave across the different instruments require its own set of accidentals. | | ||
+ | | Restate Differences After Key Sig Change | Controls if notes that differ compare to the previous key signature should be restated, even if it's in the new key signature. Example: if a 'F natural' appears in C major after a passage in A Major, that's a note that might need a cautionary accidental (since F Sharp is used in A Major). | | ||
+ | | No Courtesy after 1 Measure Rest | If set, if the scan encounters a hole in the music material of one measure or more, all courtesy accidentals are reset after the rest. | | ||
+ | | Restate After Grace Note Accidental | Controls if the main note should get an accidental if the previous accidental was set on a grace note. This option only works within one measure. | | ||
+ | | Courtesy Freeze | If set, freezes the accidental state for the added accidentals. | | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ^ Cautionary Parentheses Options ^ Description ^ | ||
+ | | On Same Beat | Controls cautionary accidental parentheses where conflicts appear on the very same beat. | | ||
+ | | In Same Measure | Controls cautionary accidental parentheses where the proposed accidental would be added in the same measure as the reference note. | | ||
+ | | In Next Measure | Controls cautionary accidental parentheses where the proposed accidental would be added to the measure after the reference note. | | ||
+ | | In 2nd Measure and Forward | Controls cautionary accidental parentheses where the proposed accidental would be added to the 2nd (or longer) measure after the reference note. | | ||
+ | | After Key Sig Change | Control cautionary accidental parentheses after a key signature change. | | ||
+ | | After Grace Note | Controls cautionary accidental parentheses on a main note after a grace note accidental. | | ||
