[JW Lua] Insert Measures

[Charles O. Lawrence]

Jari,

This code seems to work to insert 2 measures beginning at measure 5 and then
move all the measure attributes downstream by 2.  Is there a better way?

--------------------------------------------
local mC = 2
local mS = 5

local measures = finale.FCMeasures()

measures:LoadAll()
print ("Before Number of measures",measures.Count)

finale.FCMeasures.Insert(mS,mC,true)

measures:LoadAll()
print ("After Number of measures",measures.Count)

local measure = finale.FCMeasure()

for m = mS,measures.Count-mC do
    measure:Load(m)
    measure:SaveAs(m+mC)
end

measures:SaveAll()
---------------------------------------------------------

It is easy to forget that note entry storage is completely different than
the measure data storage.

Thanks,
Charles

Thanks Jari,

Could you clarify the order of things with a code sample.  Thanks

Charles

Charles,

Measure attributes are not moved, and I don't think I'll change that design.
You should be able to read the measures prior to the insert, and then use
SaveAs() for the measures attributes you want to move.


Best regards,
