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

[Chris]

Jan

Here is an example that works with 2 half-notes in the first measure.
There are 2 important things :
-  LineID : that is the index of the smartline (it's possible to have 
any line for glissando- but how do you know which one is right)
- NoteID : that is the position of the note in the chord

-----------------------------------------
local function createSmartShape(staff,measure,leftnoteentry,rightnoteentry)
     local smartshape = finale.FCSmartShape()
     smartshape.ShapeType = finale.SMARTSHAPE_GLISSANDO
     smartshape.EntryBased = true
     smartshape.MakeHorizontal = false
     smartshape.BeatAttached= false
     smartshape.PresetShape = true
     smartshape.Visible = true
     smartshape.LineID= 1

     local leftseg = smartshape:GetTerminateSegmentLeft()
     leftseg:SetMeasure(measure)
     leftseg.Staff = staff
     leftseg:SetEntry(leftnoteentry)
     leftseg.NoteID = 1

     local rightseg = smartshape:GetTerminateSegmentRight()
     rightseg:SetMeasure(measure)
     rightseg.Staff = staff
     rightseg:SetEntry(rightnoteentry)
     rightseg.NoteID = 1

     smartshape:SaveNewEverything(NULL,NULL)
end

local noteentrycell = finale.FCNoteEntryCell(1, 1)
noteentrycell:Load()
local leftnoteentry = noteentrycell:FindEntryStartPosition(0,1)
local rightnoteentry = noteentrycell:FindEntryStartPosition(2048,1)

createSmartShape(1,1,leftnoteentry,rightnoteentry)
