[JW Lua] Copy/Paste With FCMusicRegion()

[Martin Marris]

Hi Robert,

 

Do you mean like this? It’s not working, I get a variant of the same message box error notification:

 

local musicregion = finale.FCMusicRegion()

 

musicregion.StartMeasure = 1

musicregion.EndMeasure = 2

musicregion:SetInDocument() 

musicregion:CopyMusic()

 

musicregion.StartMeasure = 3

musicregion.EndMeasure = 4

musicregion:SetInDocument() 

musicregion:PasteMusic()

 

musicregion:ReleaseMusic()

Try calling musicregion:SetInDocument() after setting the start and end measures (both times).

I am trying to create a Region programmatically (rather than through user interaction).

 

Then, copy/paste between regions.

 

But if I run the following simple script:

 

local musicregion = finale.FCMusicRegion()

musicregion.StartMeasure = 1

musicregion.EndMeasure = 2

musicregion:CopyMusic()

musicregion.StartMeasure = 3

musicregion.EndMeasure = 4

musicregion:PasteMusic()

musicregion:ReleaseMusic()

 

I get this result:

 

Message box: Title “Finale” and text “Cannot read library c:\users\myusername\AppDate\LocalLow\Fin33B.tmp”.

 

Why?

 

Martin
