[JWplugins] New plug-in: JW Staff Polyphony

[KennethKen at aol.com]

Excellent work again Jari!
 
Could you clarify your use of the term "hidden layers" for me?
Does "hidden layers" include layers hidden using staff styles, layers notes 
 hidden one note at a time (i.e., using "0" in speedy entry) and layers 
that are  simply not visible due to the current View mode (I.e., show active 
layer  only)?
 
Since Voices are not address in this plugin, I assume this is not a  
replacement for the TGTools Smart Distribution... plugin (which may be obsolete  
soon).

Hello!

A new plug-in called "JW Staff Polyphony" is now  available for download 
from the tips site. It's for Finale 2010 and later  versions. This is a 
multi-purpose plug-in for tasks that are related to  layers, chord lines 
and other kinds of music lines that appear throughout  the score.

(This plug-in replaces the old plug-ins "JW Merge Layers",  "JW Explode 
Layers", "JW Quick Explode" and "JW Chord Manager". These  plug-ins are 
now marked obsolete.)

Version 1.00 contains the  following tasks:

LAYERS
Copy - Copies the contents from one source  layer to another destination 
layer.
Move - Moves the contents from one  source layer to another destination 
layer. Layer-assigned expression are  moved to the destination layer.
Swap - Swaps the contents between two  layers. Hidden layers can't be 
swapped. Layer-assigned expressions are  also swapped.
Remove - Deletes the contents for the selected layers. Hidden  layers are 
never removed. Layer-assigned expressions are also  removed.
Merge - Merges note layers with identical durations.
Split -  Splits notes in Layer 1 to multiple layers.
Expression Merge - Transforms  identical layer-assigned expressions (if 
found for all used layers) into  one expression for all layers.

STAVES
Merge - Merges contents from  multiple staves to one staff (according to 
a couple of different notation  styles).
Split - Distributes notes from chords on one staff to multiple  staves.
>From Layers - Distributes layers to individual one-layered  staves.
To Layers - Merges one-layer staves into one staff with multiple  layers.

CHORD LINES
Add - Adds lines of notes to chords or to single  notes.
Delete - Deletes a note line from chords. At least 2 notes must be  
available prior to removal.
Drop - Drops a specific line one octave  down.
Keep - Keeps a specific note line while removing the other chord  notes.
Rotate - Rotates the chord by moving the top/bottom note an octave.  A 
minimum of 2 notes is required for the chord to be rotated.
Transpose  - Transposes a specific note line or the full chord.
Split Unisons - Splits  unison intervals into octaves.


Best regards,

Jari  Williamsson
