[JWplugins] New plug-in: JW Staff Polyphony

[Howard Begun]

Hi Jari,

I found a nasty glitch in the Staves/Split function. I'm trying to use it to
convert an orchestral score that has several doubled-up into a parts master
with one instrument per staff. I inserted the needed blank staves then
selected the first two (Flute 1 and Flute 2). The plugin is set to one line
per staff, single notes as unisons, split down, and simplify: none. After
running it, the parts are properly distributed, but the next staff below the
selection (Oboe 1) is completely erased!

The other function I've tried so far (Staves/From Layers) seems to work
properly.

I can send a file if needed.

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
