[JW Lua] flip accidentals in selected regions

[Joseph Weidinger]

I threw that in there and it still doesn't work though. (below)
Besides not working, it seems to have odd behaviors when run on transposing
instrument lines (change enharmonics that obviously aren't in the line and
meanwhile missing ones that definitely are) although my forth parameter is
"true" in all instances.

tblOne = {'A#', 'B#', 'C#', 'D#', 'E#', 'F#', 'G#', 'Cb', 'Fb', 'Bb', 'Db',
'Eb', 'Gb', 'Ab'}
tblTwo = {'Bb', 'C', 'Db', 'Eb', 'F', 'Gb', 'Ab', 'B', 'E', 'A#', 'C#',
'D#', 'F#', 'G#'}

local pitchString = finale.FCString()
local originalPitchString = finale.FCString()

for entry in eachentrysaved(finenv.Region()) do
    if entry:IsNote() then
        i = 0 --to get the correct item of a chord, if there is one
        for note in each(entry) do
            note:GetString(pitchString, nil, false, true)
            note:GetString(originalPitchString, nil, false, true)
            for k, v in ipairs(tblOne) do
                if pitchString:ContainsLuaString(v, nil) then
                    pitchString:Replace(tblOne[k], tblTwo[k])
                    entry:GetItemAt(i):SetString(pitchstring, nil, false,
true)
                    entry.CheckAccidentals = true
                    print('old was', originalPitchString.LuaString, 'and
new is', pitchString.LuaString)
                    break
                end
            end
            i = i + 1
        end
    end
end
