[JW Lua] Attaching a new entry-based custom smart line to a score

[Chris]

Hello Jan

Here is a sample that works.
But I don't understand whyit's necessary to put "PresetShape" to "true"

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

local function createLine()
	local csld = finale.FCCustomSmartLineDef()
	csld.Horizontal = true
	csld.LineStyle = finale.CUSTOMLINE_SOLID
	csld.StartArrowheadStyle = finale.CLENDPOINT_HOOK
	csld.StartHookLength = -1451
	csld.EndArrowheadStyle = finale.CLENDPOINT_HOOK
	csld.EndHookLength = -1451
	csld.LineWidth = 363

	csld:SaveNew()

	return csld.ItemNo
end

local function createSmartShape(staff,measure,lineID)
	local smartshape = finale.FCSmartShape()
	smartshape.ShapeType = finale.SMARTSHAPE_CUSTOM
	smartshape.EntryBased = false
	smartshape.MakeHorizontal = true
	smartshape.BeatAttached= true
	smartshape.Visible = true
	smartshape.PresetShape = true
	smartshape.LineID= lineID

	local leftseg = smartshape:GetTerminateSegmentLeft()
	leftseg:SetMeasure(measure)
	leftseg:SetMeasurePos(0)
	leftseg:SetStaff(staff)
	leftseg:SetEndpointOffsetX(0)
	leftseg:SetEndpointOffsetY(30)

	local rightseg = smartshape:GetTerminateSegmentRight()
	rightseg:SetMeasure(measure)
	rightseg:SetMeasurePos(4096)
	rightseg:SetStaff(staff)
	rightseg:SetEndpointOffsetX(0)
	rightseg:SetEndpointOffsetY(30)

	smartshape:SaveNewEverything(NULL,NULL)
end

local lineID = createLine()
createSmartShape(1,1,lineID)

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

Best regards

Chris
