[JW Lua] Setting instruments to solo mode - save functionality missing

[Jari Williamsson]

Jan,

It's the last line that's wrong. FCLayerPlaybackData (obtained by 
FCInstrumentPlaybackData:GetNoteLayerData) is not saved, since this data 
is a subrecord of the FCInstrumentPlaybackData. You still need to save 
back the data you loaded for the FCInstrumentPlaybackData object. It 
should be mentioned in the docs for FCLayerPlaybackData, I'm adding 
documentation regarding this for 
FCInstrumentPlaybackData:GetNoteLayerData() as well.

Changing the last line like this should work:

---
local InstrPlaybackData = finale.FCInstrumentPlaybackData()
InstrPlaybackData:Load(5)
local NoteLayerPlaybackData = InstrPlaybackData:GetNoteLayerData(1) 
--Read layer 1
NoteLayerPlaybackData:SetSolo(true)
InstrPlaybackData:Save()
---


Best regards,

Jari Williamsson
