Object Plugins / Re: BarLabel.ms (1.1)
Last post by fathafluff -
That does sound like a good solution. I posted my prior reply before I saw yours. But your solution sounds like a good one if you feel like changing it. I assume users of the old version would not be impacted.

Object Plugins / Re: BarLabel.ms (1.1)
Last post by fathafluff -
Thanks for the quick reply.
 
Just to make sure I understand your request, relative to how the object currently works: With the new value of "default", if the user object immediately follows a barline, then you want it to display that barline's number (i.e. what "prior" would do), and if it immediately precedes a barline, then it should display the following barline's number (i.e. "next").
Exactly. If object is not immediately adjacent to a bar, it could default to the closest one, but I'm not sure that calculation is worth the trouble. Also, if it is in the first measure of a line, it should use that measure number unless there is a bar immediately after.
I wanted it because I had a few "next" which ended at the end if a line. When I moved them after the bar, I had to change the reference. The more I think about it, I'm not sure it's worth the trouble.

But what behavior should the object have if the object is somewhere in the middle of the measure?

I think I could accommodate your new behavior by adding another property, let's call it "Auto-select", as a checkbox. If the box is unchecked, then the behavior is as the object currently works. If it is checked, then it will choose the prior or next barline's number if it is adjacent to the prior or next barline. And if it is in the middle of the measure, then it will use the "Reference Which Bar" property to determine which value to display.

EDIT: After experimenting with the code, I think I found a better solution that is closer to your original request. I can add a new value for "Reference Which Bar" that is "auto". Whichever bar is closer to the object will be the one whose bar number is used. If the distance to either bar is the same, it will use the next bar.  Does that sound like a workable solution?

I doubt if this is possible ten years after the last update (and the five-year-old request not fulfilled) but I would like to see an additional option on the "Reference Which Bar" property: "Default".  This would look immediately to the left and right of the object, and, if there were any type of bar immediately adjacent to the object, set the bar number to the number of that bar.

Tips & Tricks / Re: Page number font size
Last post by Lawrie Pardy -
How can I increase the font size for page numbers?
There are 2 relatively easy ways.
  • For the standard, garden variety page numbers, the font used is called "Page Small Text" in the |File|Page Setup...|Fonts (Tab) dialogue - simply increase the size from the default of 8.  This has the drawback of affecting ALL text entries that use "Page Small Text"
  • If you have looked at "User Objects" at all, you can use the "PageTxtMaestro" and "PageTxt" objects to replace the default page numbering and you can select alternative display fonts in the "PageTxt" object.  Just remember to turn page numbering OFF in |File|Page Setup...|Options (Tab).

The PageTxtMaestro system is introduced here:
https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=9215.0

To check to see if it is already installed; simply open a score, press <J> to open the object dialogue, press <p> to take you to the "p"s in the list and if you have it installed then you will see "PageTxt.nw" and "PageTxtMaestro.nw" in the object type list.

The "PageTxtMaestro" objects are quite powerful and can give excellent results when you learn to use them effectively.

User Tools / Re: Resting Staff
Last post by Warren Porter -
I changed the script to allow the time signature to be read from a "fake" object as well as a real time signature. When selecting a number of measures that don't have a time signature, the script will read the time signature then in effect.

Please look at the top message for the new script. I'll submit this to the Scriptorium after I tackle any bugs. The only change was on line 50.

General Discussion / Re: Wrong verse highlighted after master repeat
Last post by Flurmy -
I guess I'm inferring from the second piece, that the composer used the wrong symbols to signal his intent.... or the typesetter made a mistake in his manuscript interpretation.
I have no difficulty to assume something like this.  ;)
Either way, it'll print out exactly like the original and the end-user can make up their own mind how to interpret it.
Easy way out!  :))
