[JW Lua] FCBaseline Load for System?

[Bart Visser]

Hi,

I've run into the same problem but didn't take the time to dig deeper. Even if I create a baseline manually for a staff, it returns nil. My code:


local bls = finale.FCBaselines()
bls:LoadAllForSystem(systemNo, finale.BASELINEMODE_LYRICSVERSE)
-- bls == nil

-- since bls == nil, this doesn't work either
local firstBaseline = bls:FindLyricNumber(1, 1)
 
So no help from me I'm afraid...

Bart
