| Posted 12/19/2016 3:35 PM (GMT -6) |   | OK, thanks. I've used AHK a fair amount, but never hotstrings. I like them, because you only need to find one key not used by Finale, instead of a bunch. No section symbol on U.S. keyboard, but the backquote seems expendable for what I do, so I'm using that.
I've made tasks for crescendo, decrescendo, and adjustments for ppp through fff on the left so far. All is working.

| Posted 12/19/2016 5:28 PM (GMT -6) | | Really good improvement with the waitstring and the "double naming" of the plugins. I tried it out a bit, and it works well but the way I did it is very much faster, at least on my system.
First (see below): about 3 seconds
Second, adressing the sequence: 4 seconds
Third (mine), adressing sequence: just under 1 second.
Is this more or less what you get also?
+^!x::
if (openJWpluginwindow("JW", "JW Change...", "JW Change", 10, 5, "hairpin's left-side") = 1)
{
setJWpluginpanelvalue("JW Change", 1, 30)
setJWpluginpanelvalue("JW Change", 2, 0)
applyandcloseJWpluginwindow("JW Change")
}
return
+^!z::
if (openJWpluginwindow("JW", "JW Change...", "JW Change", 1, 3, "piano left") = 1)
{
applyandcloseJWpluginwindow("JW Change")
}
return
:*b0:§u:: ;x<
Send !+§
Send {Home}{NumpadSub}{NumpadAdd}{Down}{Down}{Down}
Send !a!c
return
Maybe this is because the JW routine collapses all the functions before accessing the wanted one and this takes time. As I know that my sequences are the first on the list, it does not matter if some other functions are open, so I can go straight to the one I want and that saves time. Further down the list of sequences will of course take some more time but still not as much as 4 seconds. Maybe it is just here.

| Posted 12/19/2016 10:58 PM (GMT -6) | | It occurred to me that openJWpluginwindow need not close all containers first, only enough to get to the one it wants. Also, no need to go back to the top afterwards and count down again. Instead, start at the top and collapse and move down, counting until the desired one is reached. I also changed it to allow negative container numbers, -1 being the last, -2 the next from the last, so you can start at the bottom if that's closer to the desired one.
So this should speed things up a bit. Attached below. I think that will be it for me!

| Posted 12/20/2016 12:10 PM (GMT -6) | | Thanks for the AHK documention pointer. I did eventually find that. I am using ?, * and b0. But if the hotstring trigger is `7, it sends ` and 7 to Finale anyway, and the latter transposes the music up a step. I can of course avoid 7, and most keystrokes are innocuous in the Selection tool, but it would be nice not to have to worry about it, and I'm kind of surprised Autohotkey doesn't have a way of not passing the keystrokes on (rather than cancelling them with backspaces).

| Posted 12/20/2016 4:10 PM (GMT -6) | | I figured out how to have two-character triggers using the backquote character followed by any character I want (i.e., not transmitted to Finale), and how to restrict these triggers to Finale's selection tool. I'm just getting started, but `, creates a crescendo, `. a diminuendo, `7 adjusts the starting point for p, `8 for pp, and so forth. For the record, here's what I have so far. I decided to use JW Change sequences for all the endpoint adjustments, at least for now.
selection()
{
StatusBarGetText statusbartext
return InStr(statusbartext, "selection tool")
}
#If WinActive("ahk_class Finale") && selection()
`::
Input key,L1
if (key = "," || key = ".") {
if (key = ",") {
choice = 1
} else {
choice = 2
}
if (openJWpluginwindow("JW", "JW Pattern...", "JW Pattern", 3, 2, "Creates hairpin") = 1) {
setJWpluginpanelvalue("JW Pattern", 1, choice)
setJWpluginpanelvalue("JW Pattern", 2, "-148")
setJWpluginpanelvalue("JW Pattern", 3, 1)
setJWpluginpanelvalue("JW Pattern", 4, 0)
setJWpluginpanelvalue("JW Pattern", 5, 1)
setJWpluginpanelvalue("JW Pattern", 6, 7)
applyandcloseJWpluginwindow("JW Pattern")
}
} else { ; sequences
if (key = "4" || key = "7") {
task = 1
wait = p <>
} else if (key = "3" || key = "8") {
task = 2
wait = pp <>
} else if (key = "5" || key = "6") {
task = 3
wait = mp <>
} else if (key = "2" || key = "9") {
task = 4
wait = ppp <>
} else {
task = 0
}
if (task && openJWpluginwindow("JW", "JW Change...", "JW Change", 1, task, wait)) {
applyandcloseJWpluginwindow("JW Change")
}
}
Return
The wait strings are things I put in my sequence descriptions.
This is going to be a huge boon to me, not only for hairpins, but for other oft-used JW plug-in tasks as well. At least I feel like I'm ending these forums on a high note, so to speak. Thanks to all.

Motet,
Clever coding, but what if the Status Bar is turned off, i.e. "Windows->Status Bar" unchecked?

It looks like the status bar text is still there and available to AHK even with "Windows->Status Bar" unchecked. Interesting. Good to know. Makes your life easier! I had not gone so far as to try it.

| Posted 12/20/2016 6:42 PM (GMT -6) | | The section with the sequences work very smoothly (as fast as my old script!), but I don't get the hairpins right.
setJWpluginpanelvalue("JW Pattern", 1, choice)
setJWpluginpanelvalue("JW Pattern", 2, "-148")
setJWpluginpanelvalue("JW Pattern", 3, 1)
setJWpluginpanelvalue("JW Pattern", 4, 0)
setJWpluginpanelvalue("JW Pattern", 5, 1)
setJWpluginpanelvalue("JW Pattern", 6, 7)
The second field only shows up if Vertical Position, slot 6, is already set to 7. Mine was not set up like that, so there was no place to insert -148 to. Slot 2 goes to "Only copy to music".
Not a big deal of course. I guess one could just set JW Pattern hairpin setting manually, they won't change anyway, and just omit those fields from the script.

Motet said...I didn't actually try it with my stuff, but I looked with AHK's Window Spy.
I'd be interested in how you looked with Window Spy. When I tried it, there was NEVER any text showing in the Status Bar Text area. If the Status Bar was displayed, you could move the cursor into the Status Bar area on the screen and Window Spy would show the text in the "Control Under Mouse Position:" area, but if the Status Bar was not displayed, then obviously, you could not position the cursor in the Status Bar area.
