| Posted By : Thomas W - 1/25/2013 8:10 AM | Is there a plugin that is able to detect and report identical consecutive measures? We need to equip those measures with numbers. Rather than checking thousands of pages for identical measures, I'd like to find a way to automate this.
Thanks for your help! |

Plug-In menu > Measures > Number Repeated Measures
The plug-in has its flaws, as discussed recently in one of the forums here:
The plug-in automatically creates expressions, and places them over the repeated measures.
But the plug-in does not give you a dialog box where you can choose font settings (font, style, Point size) nor positioning settings for the expressions.
The only solution is to customize the expressions after the plug-in has created them.
The plug-in is able to detect identical consecutive measures, but it does not "report" the identical consecutive measures.

Anyway, this solution is perfect. Detecting the numbered measures afterwards for guiding a human proofreader that checks everything is not hard.
