Robert,<br>
<br>
is there any trick for starting plug-ins from within a lua script
with the finenv.UI():ExecuteOSMenuCommand<b> </b><b>on macOS</b>?<br>
<br>
On macOS I haven't succeeded neither with ExecuteOSMenuCommand nor
with MenuPositionCommand.<br>
On Windows both functions works fine.<br>
<br>
finenv.UI():GetOSMenuCommandFromItemText seems to work fine on
macOS. <br>
Or it least it returns a value that seems to be valid (2033201231).<br>
<br>
In the documentation it says that on macOS the Finale <b>document
window must be in focus</b>.<br>
Is this the problem? Can I force the document to be in focus?<br>
I have tried finenv.UI():ActivateDocumentWindow () or
finenv.UI():MenuCommand(finale.MENUCMD_SELECTIONTOOL) directly
before finenv.UI():ExecuteOSMenuCommand. <br>
It doesn't work.<br>
<br>
Do you have a working example lua script to start any plug-in from
the Finale Plug-ins menu on macOS?<br>
<br>
This topic has already been twice on the mailing list for
MenuPositionCommand() (see below). <br>
But with no answers yet.<br>
<br>
I had an interesting request for which I developed a working Windows
script. But it doesn't work on macOS yet.<br>
The request was for a script that starts another plug-in, but
applies the plug-in only to all parts, not to the score.<br>

Hi Simon,<br>
<br>
did you find a solution for this?<br>
I encountered the same issue. <br>
It works fine on Windows, but on MacOS I can't access the Plug-ins
menu via MenuPositionCommand() either.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>

Hi everyone,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I’m trying to access the menu “Plug-ins” (as in
“File”, “Edit”, “Utilities”, etc…) using
the ui:MenuPositionCommand(), but to no avail.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I have access to all the other menus and
sub-menus, but the “Plug-in” one, which should be #7 on a Mac
system, seems not possible to be invoked.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I tried many combinations, the zero-based concept
not being true all the time, but could not find the right one.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Any clue?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks to all.</div>
