[JW Lua] Programmaticall open a Finale file

[Charles O. Lawrence]

Thomas,

I see that there is no example to actually open a Finale document under JW
Lua.  Even Jari's example does not display any filename unless only one is
selected.

mes

So, Jari, how does one open a Finale file (MUS/X) from within JW Lua?  Does
it require some combination of methods/properties in the FCDocument class as
well?  An example would be most welcomed.  Thanks,

Charles

Thanks Charles,

the question is, if I have retrieved a file name of a Finale file, be it via
FCFileOpenDialog or by other means, how do I then actually open then file?
I can open and process e.g. text files with Lua just fine, but I have no
clue how to open Finale files.
