<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Hi Robert,<div><br></div><div>Thank you for your advice. I now wrote a function which loads all the staff styles in a document, creates new ones if the ones I need (which are transpositions for different instruments which I created in separate tables) are not there already and returns the staff style id for the new staff style. I have added the code here as it might help somebody else.</div><div><br></div><div>What I'm still not able to do is to clear a staff style from the score. Does anybody know how to do this?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks!</div><div><br></div><div>Emile</div><div><br></div><div><div>function CreateStaffStyles()</div><div> local staffstyledefs = finale.FCStaffStyleDefs()</div><div> staffstyledefs:LoadAll()</div><div> local newID = 0</div><div> local createNew = true</div><div> for ssd in each(staffstyledefs) do</div><div> local myEFIXDistance = 1</div><div> ssd.LineSpacing = myEFIXDistance</div><div> local argString = finale.FCString()</div><div> ssd:GetName(argString)</div><div> if argString.LuaString == "Trumpet in B-flat" then createNew = false end</div><div> local myIDResult = ssd:GetItemNo()</div><div> if createNew and myIDResult >= newID then newID = myIDResult end</div><div> end</div><div> staffstyledefs:SaveAll()</div><div><br></div><div> if createNew then -- Create new staff styles</div><div> local ssd = finale.FCStaffStyleDef()</div><div> if ssd:Load(1) then</div><div> ssd.AddToMenu = true</div><div> local string = finale.FCString()</div><div> for i = 1, #allinstruments do</div><div> string.LuaString = allinstruments[i]</div><div> ssd:SetName(string)</div><div> ssd:SetUseNotationStyle(false)</div><div> ssd:SetUseTransposition(true)</div><div> ssd.TransposeInterval = interval[i]</div><div> ssd.TransposeAlteration = keyalter[i]</div><div> --local myIDResult = ssd:SetItemNo(22)</div><div> local myBooleanResult = ssd:DeepSaveAs(newID+i)</div><div> end</div><div> end </div><div> end</div><div>return newID end</div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">Op zo 4 okt. 2020 om 15:49 schreef Robert Patterson <<a href="mailto:robert@robertgpatterson.com">robert@robertgpatterson.com</a>>:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Just because the name starts with the text "22" doesn't mean the staff style number is 22.
