[JW Lua] Reading measures from parts

[Charles O. Lawrence]

Jan,

I got this to work.  It is essentially the same as yours, but with a few
debug print statements to let me know what is happening.  I created a new
document with the setup wizard using a brass quintet, then went to part 1
and did a CTRL-4 to reset measure widths on that part only.  The output is
also shown.  You can see a different witdth for the 1st measure in part 1
than all the rest, so it must be working.

local parts = finale.FCParts()
parts:LoadAll()
for p in each(parts) do
     p:SwitchTo()
    local id = p:GetID()
    local name = p:GetName()
     print ("Part",id,name.LuaString)
    if p:IsPart() then     -- check that it's actually a part, and not the
score
            local measure=finale.FCMeasure()
            local ok = measure:Load(1)    -- should load measure 1 from the
part, but actually loads it from the score
            local width = measure.Width
            print("Load measure 1",ok,width)
     end
end

I haven't tried it, but maybe you should use SetCurrent() instead of
SwitchTo().  I think switching only sets the focus.

Jari,

I was trying to read the part-specific measure attribute for the music
spacing issue discussed on Facebook.
Time signature based music spacing in slash style measures works fine now,
but only in the score not in the parts.

How do I get to the part measures ? I always get the measures from the score
only.
Probably I need to tell FCMeasure that we are in a certain part, but I
though part:SwitchTo() would do that.

local parts = finale.FCParts()
parts:LoadAll()
for p in each(parts) do
     p:SwitchTo()
     if p:IsPart() then     -- check that it's actually a part, and not 
the score
            local measure=finale.FCMeasure()
            measure:Load(1)    -- should load measure 1 from the part, 
but actually loads it from the score
            ....
     end
end

Any hints ?

Jan
