[JW Lua] Serialize data (write to/read from file)

[Bart Visser]

Hi all,

I regularly have to ‘transfer' a song from one layout into another (say if one song has to be in two different hymnbooks). Because of all the power we now have with JW Lua, I’m looking into a way to transform the layout of a score. In order to do so, I need a way to save layout-data (such as fonts, system-margins and the placements of file-info texts). Is there a way to serialize JW Lua-data (or just a Lua table) for later retrieval?

I’ve installed a few rocks (luajson, luayaml), but can’t seem to use those from within JW Lua.

Thanks,


Bart Visser
