| Posted By : Patrick Rice - 9/16/2009 6:04 PM | I want to write a plugin to set the vertical positioning flag on an accidental and move it to a specific place above the staff. I can specify a measure, or any other region, and loop through to do the job, but I want to apply the plugin to only selected accidentals. Is there an API/function that will return the Note Entry Frame and the Note Entry of the selected note, or is there a note flag (that I can't find) that is set when the note/accidental is selected via the special tools menu?
Thanks in advance,
Pat
