[JW Lua] FCNote:GetString doesn't work anymore on pitches that worked before (starting in v0.53)

[Jan Angermüller]

Jari,

in version 0.53 you changed the handling of pitch reading
("Fixed a bug where FCNote::GetString() and FCNote::CalcOctave() 
returned wrong values on very low notes.").
It somehow must have introduced a new error, because other pitches that 
worked fine before now return the wrong value.
Attached is a very simple score, no transposition, no key sigs and the 
script below now messes up the octave.

for e in eachentry(finenv.Region()) do
     local str=finale.FCString()
     if not e:IsRest() then
         e:GetItemAt(0):GetString(str,nil)
         print(str.LuaString)
     end
end

Correct result until v0.52
Running [Unnamed Script] ======>
C4
<======= [Unnamed Script] succeeded (Processing time: 0.001 s).

Incorrect result in v.0.53 and 0.54
Running [Unnamed Script] ======>
C0
<======= [Unnamed Script] succeeded (Processing time: 0.000 s).

It seems to be related to the second parameter of GetString which is nil 
in the example code above.
Your function description says:
*pKey: If this is NULL, the key signature from the current entry's 
position will be used.
*This used to work fine until 0.52. Seems like "nil" isn't supported 
anymore in 0.53.

If I add the key parameter and update the script as below, it seems to 
work -
though I have only tested a few measures and can't say that it always 
works like this.

for e in eachentry(finenv.Region()) do
     local str=finale.FCString()
     if not e:IsRest() then
         local measure=finale.FCMeasure()
         measure:Load(e.Measure)
         local key=measure:GetKeySignature()
         e:GetItemAt(0):GetString(str,key)
         print(str.LuaString)
     end
end*
*
Maybe it's only the function description that is not valid anymore?
I don't know. At least the first script above worked fine until v0.52.

Best,
Jan*
