[JW Lua] Demos of my JW Lua Projects

[Jan Angermüller]

Dear Jari and dear colleagues,

after more than two years on this mailing list, I have started to put my 
first huge JW Lua demos on my homepage.
Unfortunately nothing is available for public download yet (I am working 
on the beta night and day...), but I think you already get very excited 
when you see the online demos.

The first huge project is the "*Perfect Layout*" plug-in which automates 
more than 80 Finale layout tasks, from slur/tie/hairpin collision 
removement through automatic alignment to spacing and part optimization.
The plug-in is described and demonstrated in detail here:
http://elbsound.studio/perfect_layout.php

The second huge plug-in is the "*House Style / Font Changer*" which 
allows to switch to nearly any (!) music font or font mixes and to 
update any document settings. More than 350 music and chord fonts with 
more than 1200 musical symbols are already implemented.
My website includes a huge *online music font comparison* which was 
created automatically with the plug-in.
It shows four musical examples with *150 music font families*:

With the combination of both projects it's possible to automatically 
layout more or less any Finale document in any music font as the 
automated layout requires semantic information on the used musical 
symbols which can be read from the music font database.
The overall code size of both plug-ins is about 50.000 JW Lua lines of 
code plus about 185.000 lines of font symbol and document setting data.
Both plug-ins have already gone through more than a year of testing and 
it won't be long until they are released.

Another resource that I compiled while working on these projects is a 
comprehensive music related font list with more than 850 entries:

Some smaller JW Lua projects are also described on the homepage:

I am very happy to hear your comments and/or wishes for more automated 
tasks in Finale.
And I would like thank Jari again and again for making this great 
development tool !

Best,
Jan
