[JW Lua] New pages

[Charles O. Lawrence]

To the back of the class, Lawrence!

I see my mistake.  I loaded the prefs, changed them, but forgot to save them
back.

Jari et al,

I am revisiting this issue.  I revised my script to use the new
FCPageFormatPrefs class in the hopes of removing the workaround where I loop
until no changes to any page size were made.  I am thinking that if the
prefs are set, then any new pages created should reflect those prefs.  Alas,
I still need the loop, so what am I missing?  The revised script is
attached.

Thanks,

Charles Lawrence

What you need access to is the class for the "Page format for Parts/Score"
preference data. I'll add that to the next beta.

For now, this should work to change the format anyway:
* Put the page changing code (including the FCPages:LoadAll() statement) in
a loop. If all pages are parsed but already have the correct page size,
break the loop.
* At the end of the loop, update the layout
* Loop back


Best regards,

Jari Williamsson
