What does that number really refer to? Measures of identical width have different values. When you drag a beat to a different position using the handles in the beat chart, the Total Width number changes, sometimes significantly. It also changes to a same number when measures are the same width. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I have a plugin that I wrote years ago using the Finale2000 PDK. I converted it to JWLua in 2016. The program combines all the measures in a staff into a single measure and then spaces the notes equally across the measure. It actually does a lot more than that, but that's the basic function. If I use FCBeatChartElement.FullSpan for the measure width I get different results than I do after I drag one beat in the beat chart and then run the plugin. I've had to use the drag-a-beat workaround for 18 years now and I'm tired of doing it. Every few years I try to figure out how to make FullSpan work. I'm lost. Any suggestions?????<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks in advance.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Pat<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
