[JW Lua] Measure Number Regions

[Charles O. Lawrence]

Sorry for so many questions, but just DeleteData() also seems to work.
Although apparently not necessary, Is DeepDeleteData() better?  If so, for
what reason.

Thanks,
Charles

This line of code also works.  It does not save the region if it has been
deleted.  This seems more logical, although the other code seemed to work
too.  Which is better in your opinion?

    if k == 2 then region:DeleteData(k) else region:Save(k) end

Looks like I should not try to mnrs:SaveAll().
This now works OK

--------------------------------------------------------------


local mnrs = finale.FCMeasureNumberRegions()
mnrs:LoadAll()

local region = finale.FCMeasureNumberRegion()

for k=mnrs.Count,1,-1 do
    region:Load(k)
    print ("mnr",region.ItemNo,"Start Measure",region.StartMeasure,"End
Measure",region.EndMeasure,"Start Number",region.StartNumber)
    -- change the region some
    region.StartNumber = region.StartNumber + 10
    if k == 2 then region:DeepDeleteData(k) end
    region:Save(k)
end



-----------------------------------------------------
PS: Jan, your reply came in as I was about to post.  I realized that the
mnrs:SaveAll() was the culprit.  I will, however, need the region:Save(k) as
I am making some changes to the region attributes.  Thanks for your help.

Jari/Jan,

I'm still not getting it.  Looking forward to that eachbackwards iterator.

This code is to delete MNR#2, but doesn't.  Please clarify the proper
method.  Thanks.

local mnrs = finale.FCMeasureNumberRegions()
mnrs:LoadAll()

local region = finale.FCMeasureNumberRegion()

for k=mnrs.Count,1,-1 do
    region:Load(k)
    print ("mnr",region.ItemNo,"Start Measure",region.StartMeasure,"End
Measure",region.EndMeasure,"Start Number",region.StartNumber)
    if k == 2 then region:DeepDeleteData() end
    region:Save(k)
end

mnrs:SaveAll()

Charles
