[JW Lua] Lyrics baselines

[Bart Visser]

Hi Chris,

I use this function to reset all lyric-baselines globally:


---------
function ResetGlobalBaselines(firstLevel, defaultDistance)
  local baselineModesTable = {finale.BASELINEMODE_LYRICSVERSE, finale.BASELINEMODE_LYRICSCHORUS, finale.BASELINEMODE_LYRICSSECTION}
  local baselineObject = finale.FCBaseline()
  for _, baselineMode in pairs(baselineModesTable) do
    for i=1,10 do -- resets lyricNo 1-10
      local newOffset = firstLevel - ((i-1)*defaultDistance)
      baselineObject:LoadDefaultForLyricNumber(baselineMode, i)
      baselineObject.VerticalOffset = newOffset
      baselineObject:Save()
    end
  end
end

local firstLevel = -149 -- in EVPUs
defaultDistance = 55 -- Distance between baseline-levels in EVPUs

ResetGlobalBaselines(firstLevel, defaultDistance)
---------


Maybe this helps.

Cheers,


Bart Visser
