[JW Lua] Expression Categories

[Charles O. Lawrence]

I don't know if this is a question for this list or for the MakeMusic forum,
but I cannot seem to get the Category Designer dialog box to accept any
style modifications (Bold, Italics, Underline) to a category like Tempo
Marks using the buttons in the Text Font tab.  The preview changes while you
hold the button down, but reverts back as soon as you release the button.
The font and size can be modified.  Am I missing something?

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,

default fonts for a category, to get expressions where "Use . Category
Fonts" is selected to update to the new fonts. 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":
