<div dir="ltr">Thanks. I didn't know about the finale. prefix but I do now... Even still however, MN_ALIGN_CENTER doesn't seem to do anything even if I put a 1 in there. Run this script (which changes to a score-style measuring system). The alignment should read "center" on all the measure number position boxes, but they don't, at least for me.<div><br></div><div><div>-- delete existing regions</div><div>local mNumRegions = finale.FCMeasureNumberRegions()</div><div>mNumRegions:LoadAll()</div><div>for m in eachbackwards(mNumRegions) do</div><div> m:DeepDeleteData()</div><div>end</div><div><br></div><div>--------------------- 1 - displayed region ------------------------------</div><div>-- establish font info for displayed measure numbers</div><div>local multipleFontInfo = finale.FCFontInfo()</div><div>multipleFontInfo.Bold = true</div><div>multipleFontInfo.Name = "Times New Roman"</div><div>multipleFontInfo.Size = 22</div><div><br></div><div>local multiAndMultiMeasureFontInfo = finale.FCFontInfo()</div><div>multiAndMultiMeasureFontInfo.Italic = true</div><div>multiAndMultiMeasureFontInfo.Name = "Times New Roman"</div><div>multiAndMultiMeasureFontInfo.Size = 10</div><div><br></div><div>newRegion = finale.FCMeasureNumberRegion()</div><div>if newRegion then</div><div><br></div><div> -- basics</div><div> newRegion.StartMeasure = 1</div><div> newRegion.EndMeasure = 999</div><div> newRegion.UseScoreInfoForParts = false</div><div><br></div><div> -- SCORE --</div><div> newRegion:SetExcludeOtherStaves(true)</div><div> newRegion:SetShowOnBottomStaff(true)</div><div> newRegion:SetShowOnMultiMeasureRests(true)</div><div> newRegion:SetShowMultiples(true)</div><div> -- multiple font info and position</div><div> newRegion:SetMultipleFontInfo(multipleFontInfo)</div><div> newRegion:SetMultipleAlignment(finale.MNALIGN_CENTER) --- BROKEN>>>??</div><div> newRegion:SetMultipleJustification(finale.MNJUSTIFY_CENTER)</div><div> newRegion:SetMultipleHorizontalPosition(0)</div><div> newRegion:SetMultipleVerticalPosition(-270)</div><div><br></div><div> -- LINKED PARTS --</div><div> newRegion:SetExcludeOtherStaves(true, true)</div><div> newRegion:SetShowOnTopStaff(true, true)</div><div> newRegion:SetShowMultiples(true, true)</div><div> newRegion:SetShowMultiMeasureRange(true, true)</div><div> -- multiple font info and position for parts</div><div> newRegion:SetMultipleFontInfo(multiAndMultiMeasureFontInfo, true)</div><div> newRegion:SetMultipleAlignment(finale.MNALIGN_CENTER, true) --- BROKEN>>>??</div><div> newRegion:SetMultipleJustification(finale.MNJUSTIFY_CENTER, true)</div><div> newRegion:SetMultipleHorizontalPosition(0, true)</div><div> newRegion:SetMultipleVerticalPosition(-175, true)</div><div> -- multimeasure font info and position for parts</div><div> newRegion:SetMultiMeasureFontInfo(multiAndMultiMeasureFontInfo, true)</div><div> newRegion:SetMultiMeasureAlignment(finale.MNALIGN_CENTER, true) --- BROKEN>>>??</div><div> newRegion:SetMultiMeasureJustification(finale.MNJUSTIFY_CENTER, true)</div><div> newRegion:SetMultiMeasureHorizontalPosition(0, true)</div><div> newRegion:SetMultiMeasureVerticalPosition(-175, true)</div><div> newRegion:SaveNew()</div><div>end</div><div><br></div><div>--------------------- 2 - hidden region ------------------------------</div><div><br></div><div>-- establish font info for hidden measure numbers</div><div>local hiddenFontInfo = finale.FCFontInfo()</div><div>hiddenFontInfo.Bold = true</div><div>hiddenFontInfo.Name = "Times New Roman"</div><div>hiddenFontInfo.Size = 22</div><div>hiddenFontInfo.Hidden = true</div><div><br></div><div>newHiddenRegion = finale.FCMeasureNumberRegion()</div><div>if newHiddenRegion then</div><div> newHiddenRegion.StartMeasure = 1</div><div> newHiddenRegion.EndMeasure = 999</div><div> newHiddenRegion.UseScoreInfoForParts = false</div><div><br></div><div> newHiddenRegion:SetShowOnMultiMeasureRests(true)</div><div> newHiddenRegion:SetShowMultiples(true)</div><div><br></div><div> -- multiple font info and position</div><div> newHiddenRegion:SetMultipleFontInfo(hiddenFontInfo)</div><div> newHiddenRegion:SetMultipleAlignment(finale.MNALIGN_CENTER) --- BROKEN>>>??</div><div> newHiddenRegion:SetMultipleJustification(finale.MNJUSTIFY_CENTER)</div><div> newHiddenRegion:SetMultipleHorizontalPosition(0)</div><div> newHiddenRegion:SetMultipleVerticalPosition(-270)</div><div> </div><div> newHiddenRegion:SaveNew()</div><div>end</div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, May 4, 2015 at 3:50 PM, Jari Williamsson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jari.williamsson@mailbox.swipnet.se" target="_blank">jari.williamsson@mailbox.swipnet.se</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Joseph,<br>

Charles is correct. Always try to use the constant names (the constants are prefixed with "finale.") even if you know what the number is.<br>
<br>
Perhaps you missed the listconstants.lua script which I put on the list in the distant past? I now put that script on the tips site:<br>
<a href="http://finaletips.nu/index.php/download/category/31-jw-lua-scripts" target="_blank">http://finaletips.nu/index.php/download/category/31-jw-lua-scripts</a><br>
<br>
The documentation should tell what constant prefix you should search for (such as "MNJUSTIFY_").<br>
<br>
<br>

Why not use the defined constants instead of hardwiring numbers? Here<br>
are the current values:<br>
<br>
MNALIGN_CENTER = 1<br>
<br>
MNALIGN_LEFT = 0<br>
<br>
MNALIGN_RIGHT = 2<br>
<br>
MNJUSTIFY_CENTER = 2<br>
<br>
MNJUSTIFY_LEFT = 0<br>
<br>
MNJUSTIFY_RIGHT = 1<br>
<br>
Use them like this:<br>
<br>
region:SetStartAlignment(finale.MNALIGN_LEFT)<br>
<br>
They may not be correct. Jari can verify that.<br>

<br>
I am making a script that makes new measure number regions. It was<br>
going great until I started to change the position with:<br>
<br>
SetStartAlignment()<br>
<br>
SetStartJustification()<br>
<br>
SetMultiMeasureAlignment()<br>
<br>
SetMultiMeasureJustification()<br>
<br>
The documentation seems weird to me (<br>
<a href="http://www.finaletips.nu/frameworkref/group__lua__classes.html#ga934c898f4ebbf7cbca683e424c641462" target="_blank">http://www.finaletips.nu/frameworkref/group__lua__classes.html#ga934c898f4ebbf7cbca683e424c641462</a><br>
). I gathered it needed a number argument and based on a table I saw in<br>
your PDK, it looks like 0 should be Left, 1 should be Center, 2 should<br>
be Right. However, the actual order is not Left Center Right but Left<br>
Right Center. Furthermore, passing these numbers into<br>
SetStartAlignment() and SetMuliMeasureAlignment() don't affect it at<br>
all. It simply defaults to Left every time.<br>
<br>
Another way of seeing it based on my experiments:<br>
<br>
start<br>
<br>
0 0 left left<br>
<br>
1 1 left right<br>
<br>
2 2 left center<br>
<br>
multimeasure<br>
<br>
0 0 left left<br>
<br>
1 1 left right<br>
<br>
2 2 left center<br>
<br>
So to summarize, it seems no number passed into SetStartAlignment or<br>
SetMultiMeasureAlignment (and presumably SetMultipleAlignment) changes<br>
the value to anything other than left. Am I missing something...?<br>
