[JW Lua] Expression Categories

[Jari Williamsson]

Dave,

Category font settings in the expression definitions needs to be changed 
manually in the raw Enigma strings, if the expression definition belongs 
to the category. Look for the ^fontMus() and related commands. Do not 
change ^font() commands.


Best regards,

Jari Williamsson

It appears to have set it when looking at the definition but the text itself hasn't updated. Might this be a case where something needs to be updated internally, or is there some save or update method that I've missed? Here's some example code - try it on a default score where the Tempo Marks have been set to "Use Tempo Marks Category Fonts":
