Hi Chris and Jari,<br>
<br>
<span id="result_box" class="short_text" lang="en"><span class=""><span
id="result_box" class="" lang="en"><span class="">>The
values of</span></span></span></span><span id="result_box"
class="short_text" lang="en"><span class=""><span id="result_box"
class="" lang="en"><span class=""><span id="result_box"
class="short_text" lang="en"><span class=""> "Smart shape
placement"</span></span> are not always those displayed</span></span>.</span></span><br>
<span id="result_box" class="short_text" lang="en"><span class="">>They
depend on the parameter "Smart Slur Options -> Tips avoid
Staff Lines By".</span></span><br>
That's the solution!<br>
Although the interesting thing in this case is that the values of
"Smart Shape Placement" are indeed correct here (it's a 12 EVPU
distance).<br>
It's only the calculated distance
(FCSmartShape:CalcRightEntryMetricsPos) that returns the wrong
value.<br>
But if I add the "Avoid Staff Lines" value to the wrong value, it
becomes correct. <br>
Or: if I set the "Avoid Staff Lines" value to 0 (which doesn't
change the slur visually), the calculated vertical metrics from
CalcRightEntryMetricsPos are also correct.<br>
<br>
So there must be a problem somewhere back in JW Lua or in the Plugin
SDK that<b> accidentally adds the Avoid Stafff Lines values in this
case.</b><br>
<br>
My workaround now: uncheck "Tips Avoid Staff Lines" or set the value
to 0.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
