All it does is drag back the right-end of each hairpin by 60 units. Luckily, the source material I am working with is voluminous (600 conductor scores and probably more to come) but simple. I don’t think any hairpins span more than one bar, anywhere. I will try to make it more sophisticated so that it only adjusts hairpins that end at the end of a bar, but even that may be over-doing it.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>For some reason I did not have to use the “SetCustom” stuff at all.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#C55A11;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#C55A11;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%'>musicregion = finale.FCMusicRegion()<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#C55A11;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#C55A11;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%'>musicregion:SetFullDocument()<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#C55A11;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#C55A11;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%'>local marks = finale.FCSmartShapeMeasureMarks()<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#C55A11;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#C55A11;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%'>marks:LoadAllForRegion(musicregion, true)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#C55A11;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#C55A11;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%'>for mark in each(marks) do<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#C55A11;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#C55A11;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%'> local smartshape = mark:CreateSmartShape()<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#C55A11;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#C55A11;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%'> if smartshape:IsHairpin() then<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#C55A11;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#C55A11;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%'> local segment = smartshape:GetTerminateSegmentRight()<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#C55A11;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#C55A11;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%'> segment:SetEndpointOffsetX(-60)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#C55A11;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#C55A11;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%'> smartshape:Save()<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#C55A11;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#C55A11;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%'> end<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#C55A11;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#C55A11;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%'> end<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Something like this would help end the pain for the large number of Finale users (judging from a Google search) who seem to be frustrated by these collisions between hairpins and group barlines.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Martin<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
