[JW Lua] UseCustomChar property missing in FCAccidentalMod / FCNoteheadMod

[Jan Angermüller]

Robert,

I just ran again into the old issue of the missing property 
UseCustomChar in  FCAccidentalMod / FCNoteheadMod (see 3. and 4. in the 
old mail from the Lua mailing list below).
GetUseCustomChar is available, but not the property.
However UseCustomFont is available both as property and method.

I haven't checked it in RGP Lua. But as I didn't find the keyword 
UseCustomChar in any of your recent emails, I assume the issue is still in.

Jan

Hi Jari,

I don't know how I should submit more bugs ?
Again separate mails ? Or add them to my PDF and upload it again ?
Below are four bugs of which bug 2 has been mentioned before in older 
mails, but never been fixed.
I would priorizite the first bug as "High Priority" and the other three 
as "Nice to have"-bug fixes.

Best,
Jan

1.) If I open a sub dialog (e.g. articulation, expression, ...) from my 
main dialog and then want to return to my main dialog (by clicking ok or 
cancel), *the focus gets lost*. Neither Finale nor my main dialog are 
active anymore (the focus isn't visible at all!) and I need to use the 
mouse and click on the plugin dialog to make it active again. Thus it's 
impossible to automate the plugin for example via macros.
Maybe a*:SetFocus() *function is needed - if this is not performed 
automatically.
I have only tested it on Windows/Finale 2014.5.

Test code: (Run the code, click on the Select button and then close the 
Articulation dialog -> focus is not on the plugin anymore)
local str=finale.FCString()
str.LuaString="Test"
local dialog = finale.FCCustomLuaWindow()
dialog:SetTitle(str)
local button = dialog:CreateButton(0, 0)
str.LuaString = "Select"
button:SetText(str)
local function mycommandhandler(thecontrol)
     if thecontrol:GetControlID()==button:GetControlID() then
         local myIDResult
         myIDResult= finenv.UI():DisplayArticulationDialog(0)
     end
end
dialog:RegisterHandleCommand(mycommandhandler)
dialog:CreateOkButton()
dialog:CreateCancelButton()
dialog:ExecuteModal(nil)

2.) If I write *0 (EVPU) to FCDistancePrefs.AccidentalMultiSpace*, it 
appears as 8 (EVPU) in the Finale document options "Space Between 
Accidentals on Note" field.
Any other value I write appears correctly, i.e. -1 -> -1,  1 -> 1, 2-> 2 
etc.
When I read the value from within JW Lua after having written it, it 
returns correctly as 0, but still shows 8 in the dialog. Test script below.
The same goes for or FCDistancePrefs.AccidentalNoteSpace.  (see mails 
2016-04-22 and 2016-04-23)

local distprefs=finale.FCDistancePrefs()
distprefs:LoadFirst()
distprefs.AccidentalMultiSpace=0
distprefs:Save()

3.) *FCAccidentalMod.UseCustomChar is not available only 
...:GetUseCustomChar()*
On the other hand UseCustomFont is available both as property and method.

4.) *FCNoteheadMod.UseCustomChar is not available only :GetUseCustomChar()*
On the other hand UseCustomFont is available both as property and method.
