2016-03-21 Thread João Pais
Hello list, sometimes all the elements in the finalescript menu are greyed out, and I can't choose any. I don't seem to find a logical reason for it, it's not connected to the opened file(s). Is this behaviour documented somwhere? Best, Joao Fin 2014, 2014.5 / Win7 _

Hello list, I had a couple of questions regarding finalescript: - I notice that in fin2012 there are lots of crashes, just when navigating the palette, but in fin2014 things seem to be ok. Is that your experience as well? - I was trying to write a plugin using the Edit Page Offset window. This

In this particular case, the problem is that before the Edit Page Offset menu appears, the selection is lost - instead of setting the parameter of the page number I selected, it sets in the 1st page. This doesn't happen with Edit Frame Attributes (didn't try with anything else), there I had no prob

I had a follow-up question, if possible: is the script language the same in Finale 2012 and 2014? Can both programs read the same scripts? Btw, my OS is windows 7, 32b :) Thank you, jmmmp ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu https://lists.shsu.edu/m
