 +==== Swap Metatool Key Assignment ====
 +
 +The following script swaps the expression metatool keyboard assignments for the keys '​1'​ and '​2'​. Metatools are saved to the (ASCII) key number, and the Lua ''​string.byte()''​ function is used to find the key number. Simply resaving to the other key number will do a swap of the metatool keys. Beta version 0.40 or later is required for this sample code.

 +<code lua swapmetatools.lua>​-- Load all existing metatool assignments for the Expression Tool
 +local mas = finale.FCMetatoolAssignments()
 +mas:​LoadAllForMode(finale.MTOOLMODE_EXPRESSION)
 +-- Find the current expression metatools for keyboard keys '​1'​ and '​2'​
 +metatool1 = mas:​FindKeystroke(string.byte("​1"​))
 +metatool2 = mas:​FindKeystroke(string.byte("​2"​))
 +-- Swap the keyboard mapping for these 2 objects
 +if (metatool1 ~= nil) then
 +    metatool1:​SaveAsKeystroke(string.byte("​2"​))
 +end
 +if (metatool2 ~= nil) then
 +    metatool2:​SaveAsKeystroke(string.byte("​1"​))
