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

[Charles O. Lawrence]

Jan and Jari,

Is this in any way related to a recent post on the forum.makemusic.com
Windows forum by zac100, "Mixer/playback -- groups of instruments?"?

I thought this would be a good challenge for JWLua if all the hooks are
there, but it looks like you have beaten me to it!

Jari,

a feature request that I had submitted to MakeMusic some time ago, would
also be feasible with JW Lua:
creatings sets of instrument for solo playback.

For example, if I am currently working on the woodwind part of an orchestral
score. I would like to listen quickly, for example, only to the flutes/oboes
or all woodwinds or whatever... It is very clumsy setting the solo mode in
score manager, especially if you want to switch a lot between the large
instrument sets.
So the idea would be to define instrument groups in the JW Lua plugin and
with one macro key switch setting these instrument to solo playback.

I tried this example code (on Staff 5 / Layer 1).
But while I can get and set the solo mode, it seems like the final
save-functionality is not implemented yet.

local InstrPlaybackData = finale.FCInstrumentPlaybackData()
InstrPlaybackData:Load(5)
local NoteLayerPlaybackData = InstrPlaybackData:GetNoteLayerData(1)
--Read layer 1
NoteLayerPlaybackData:SetSolo(true)
NoteLayerPlaybackData:SaveNew()    -- not working

Maybe you could add that in the next release ?

Have a nice day,
Jan Angermueller
