[JW Lua] FCNoteEntry:IsPartOfTuplet/IsStartOfTuplet hangs

[Charles O. Lawrence]

Jan,

FYI, I already reported the infinite loop issue and having to restart Finale
to get out of it.  Usually Task Manager is not able to stop the process, so
a reboot is necessary.

I have coded up a few infinite loops unintentionally myself!

Your code sample actually crashed my Finale 2014a twice in a row, so I
couldn't test it.  Don't know why!

Hi Jari,

FCNoteEntry:IsPartOfTuplet and FCNoteEntry:IsStartOfTuplet seem to lead to
an infinite loop. This is the code:

local region = finale.FCMusicRegion()
region:SetCurrentSelection()
for e in eachentrysaved(region) do
     print("IsDotted:", e:IsDotted())
     print("IsStartOfTuplet:", e:IsStartOfTuplet())
     print("IsPartOfTuplet:", e:IsPartOfTuplet()) end

It displays "IsDotted: false" (or true if it's dotted), and then it hangs
(version 0.15).

And as a "very low priority nice-to-have" feature:
infinite loops can't be interrupted - like probably in this case, but I also
produced some of my own...  Finale hangs and needs to be restarted in these
cases. Would be great to have the possibility to interrupt the plugin in
these cases ("Press Esc to cancel").

Best,
Jan
