[JWplugins] New plug-in: JW Pattern v1.00

[Jari Williamsson]

Hello!

A new plug-in is now available for download called "JW Pattern". It's 
for Finale 2010 and later. This is a multi-purpose plug-in that creates 
patterns of various elements in the selected area.

Download from the Finale tips site:
www.finaletips.nu ("Downloads" area at the left, "Plug-ins" subsection)

Version 1.00 of this plugin has this functionality:

Beamed Groups

"Reorder Notes" - Changes the order of the notes entries within each 
beamed group. Rests inside a beamed group are unaffected.
"Merge to Chord" - Replaces a beamed group with a chord. The resulting 
chord will have the duration of the full beamed group.
"Articulations" - Creates standard articulation patterns for the beamed 
groups. Only staccato, tenuto and accents are affected.
"Slurs" - Creates slurs at specific positions on beamed groups. Old 
slurs in the beamed group are replaced.
"Chord Symbols" - Creates chord symbols above the start of each beamed 
group, based on the beamed group's tonal material.

Chords

"Break" - Breaks a chord into a single-note sequence that spans the 
duration of the chord.

Dynamics

"Carbon Copy" - Copies all dynamics in the region from a source staff to 
all other selected staves. It can optionally adjust to areas where the 
destination has no music.
"Hairpins" - Creates hairpin marking (or hairpin pair) for the width of 
the selected region. Old hairpins in the region are removed.
"Hairpin Swells" - Creates cresc+dim hairpin markings ('mezza di voce' 
markings) on long single notes. Tied notes counts as one note.

Performance Notation

"Articulations" - Creates or recreates standard articulations according 
to a specific pattern. Only staccato, tenuto and accents are affected.
"Slurs" - Creates slurs according to a specific pattern. Slurs break at 
rests. Tied entries count as one. Grace note slurs are treated 
independently.


Happy Holidays to you all!
