<p>Hi Pat,</p>
<p>your workaround is what I meant with "need to apply the settings
to the individual pages".</p>
<p>I just checked where I use FCPage:UpdateLayout: after creating
multi-measure rests, after changing the page percentage and
distance between systems, after changing the beatcharts and if
FCPage:GetFirstSystem returns -1 (which means an update is
necessary). Usually all these function mean a significant change
of measures and systems, sometimes even across systems. I don't
know if UpdateLayout is mandatory in all thse cases. But sometimes
I need to reflow the measures across systems in connection with
these functions: that's where UpdateLayout must be used.<br>
</p>
The metrics update functions I was talking of are the static
functions:<br>
finale.FCEntryMetrics:MarkMetricsForRebuild()<br>
finale.FCCellMetrics:MarkMetricsForRebuild()<br>
These are necessary if you want to calculate metrics (like
expression positions) after significant changes to the page,
measure, entries etc. My suggestion is: don't use them unless you
notice invalid calculations.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Jan<br>
