/* Notes to Rests by Warren Porter "graceFix.js" After downloading this file, when setting it up in NWC User Tools create this command line: wscript "'Browse can insert the path for you' \graceFix.js" This converts grace notes to real ones while reducing the duration of the previous object. First, copy an entire staff (which you will make visible and muted) to the clipboard, create a new staff (will eventually be hidden and played), then copy the clipboard to the new staff. Run this command on that new staff. Notes, chords, or rests which are followed by grace notes will be shortened by the (total) duration of the grace notes and the grace attribute will be removed. The original (and still on the displayed/muted staff) grace notes will now sound BEFORE the beat instead of ON the beat. Change: You can take time from the note/chord AFTER the grace note(s) by chosing "Next" */ // Substitutions: Wscript.Arguments <-> parms // Item(n) <-> [n] var rc=0, errMsg="", Wscript_Arguments = new Array();
