[JW Lua] JW Lua based Music Font Comparison v2.0 available

[Jan Angermüller]

I have updated my JW Lua based Music Font Comparison to v2.0 
<https://elbsound.studio/music-font-comparison.php>.
It now includes 50 new music font families (200 in total), a new 
contemporary notation example, improved rendering and engraving quality 
and direct linking.

Fixing the following JW Lua bugs would still improve the quality (see my 
mail from 2016-10-26):
- FCShapeDefInstruction crashes Finale (current workaround: check 
manually for shapes that may crash Finale)
- Support of unicode in FCShapeDefInstructions:AddDrawChar (current 
workaround: library load)
- Support of different parts/score values for Time Signatures (current 
workaround: no part support)
- FCStemConnectionTable:DeleteData() doesn't work (current workaround: 
remove all stem connections manually before running the plugin)
- Percussion noteheads don't update automatically after they have 
changed (current workaround: manually click on undo and redo, then they 
appear - or simply don't use percussion notation staves)
- Support for individual staff name positions (current workaround: don't 
use font mixes in staff names)
- Support for undo after a font change with an error (current 
workaround: always save the file before running the plugin - should an 
error occur, it's possible to restore the version. Very high-priority bug!)
- A few settings from Document Options and other preferences dialog are 
missing and create collisions or wrong positions: for example 
UseAfterStartTextOffset which would prevent trill lines to collide with 
the trill symbol (no workaround available)
- availability of FCArticulation:ResetHorPos() would improve the 
placement of tremolo articulations which is still not emulated perfectly.
- the mid-measure clef vertical offset is missing, so metrically 
incompatible mid-measure clefs may appear on the wrong staffline (no 
workaround available)

A few examples:


Happy holidays!

Best,
Jan
