[JW Lua] Percussion midi map

[Jari Williamsson]

Although percussion and instrument mapping in JW Lua is at a development 
phase right now, the functionality you're seeking is actually 
implemented in the beta you're using.

Here's some skeleton code to get the percussion midi map for a 
percussion staff.

Since FCInstrumentDef:CreatePercussionMapNotes() will parse the XML file 
information for the percussion MIDI map, make sure to put it outside any 
loops for performance.

---
local staff = finale.FCStaff()
staff:Load(1) -- Or whatever staff ID with percussion

local instrumentdef = staff:CreateInstrumentDef()

local mapnotes = instrumentdef:CreatePercussionMapNotes()
for mapnote in each(mapnotes) do
     print (mapnote.NoteType, "= MIDI", mapnote.MidiNote)
end
---

Best regards,

Jari Williamsson
