I haven't succeeded yet in adding a glissando smartshape at the
correct position.<br>
Probably it's the following sentence from
FCSmartShape:SaveNewEverything()<br>
that I am missing or that I don't understand:<br>
"For note-attached smart shapes, the frame collection that <br>
contains the entries need to be saved after the successful return
from this method."<br>
<br>
The code snippet is below. It creates a glissando between two half
notes<br>
in measure 1 on staff 1. The glissando does appear in the score
after the execution,<br>
but at the wrong position (see screenshot: it's placed far above the
staff).<br>
<br>
I tried to set as many properties as possible (Endpoints,
CtrlPoints, etc. - not all of them are required here, I know).<br>
But the glissando always appears at the <i>same </i>wrong position
- <br>
no matter which endpoint offsets I enter.<br>
<br>
I also tried it with FCNoteEntryCell and FCNoteEntryLayer instead of
eachentrysaved(),<br>
but that shouldn't and didn't make a difference.<br>
What's the possibly required call for "saving the frame collection"
after SaveNewEverything() ?<br>
Or is there a problem with the endpoint assignment ?<br>
I used JW Lua 0.29 / Finale 2014c / Windows 7.<br>
<br>
And another question in this context:<br>
I don't understand the meaning of "preset/custom" here.<br>
I thought that a glissando would be a preset shape as it is one of
the <a class="el"
href="http://www.finaletips.nu/frameworkref/group__lua__classes.html#ga29b94a28426154f61cb5bf57d14a8b42">SMARTSHAPE_TYPES</a>.<br>
But it only appears as a glissando in the score, if I also set the
correct LineID which<br>
is defined as "Returns the line style ID for <i>custom </i>smart
shapes."<br>
So what is a preset / custom in this context ? And does
SetPresetShape(true) have any meaning here ?<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot for your hints in advance !<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
