[JW Lua] Reset articulations respecting the CenterHorizontally flag

[Jari Williamsson]

Thomas,

Unfortunatelly, the centered articulations is a thing that isn't 
supported by the PDK. I have notified MM multiple times about that.

A possible work-around for your own scripts would be to manually store 
the widths for known articulations inside the script.


Best regards,

Jari Williamsson

But how can I find out the width of the articulation?  Is that possible at all?  If I aquire some font metadata (outside Finale), then this would certainly be possible, although it's not ideal.  But what about Shapes?
