Would it be possible to add stem direction as a filtering option in the Expressions pane? This would be very helpful in changing the horizontal and vertical distances of expressions on down-stem notes specifically.

Is it possible to make a dashed tie plugin that is incorporated into your "Change" plugin?

Ken,
I was able to soften a ffff down to a pppp with no problem using successive applications of the plugin.
The first time a dialog popped up saying that additional expressions may need to be generated, but it didn't reappear on subsequent applies. I cannot find that it had to create any more expressions, probably because all the dynamic levels were already there.
I think I figured it out. The Dynamics Softer/Louder command doesn't work when EngraverFontSet is the default music font for the file. Charles, can you check this for me?
Jari, can this part of the plugin be made compatible with EngraverFontSet?

Is there a way for you to add to the Notehead/CustomShape command a filter that differentiates between
- all the various note lengths (both dotted and not dotted) where the notehead is on a line and notes vs space,
- all the various note lengths where the notehead is above the middle line of the staff vs below it,
I know this will add alot of filter options (which, of course, the user could hide) but I'm faced with a score with percussion parts and a harp part with many "l.v. ties" on the noteheads. I'm using Engraver Font to input them but its slow going with the special tools since each note requires a different notehead depending on it's current length (default notehead and whether it's dotted) and its placement on the staff (whether on a line or space and above the middle line or not). If I could create a sequence in JW Change to handle all the different scenarios it would save a huge amount of time.

Hmmm. Apparently, my installation of the plugin is not working so good. I'll try to upload a file/video once I finish my current project.

It's there already, Ken, just not in the "JW Plug-in Tool Options..." plug-in. Next to the "Sequence Editor..." button, there is an unlabeled "Visual Options" button "...". Click it to open the dialog where you can turn on the window shade feature, among many other "visual options." Ah-ha! Thanks Charles. I was looking where all the other plugin have this option set. Having it in the plugin window is definately more convenient than opening the JW Plug-in Options Tool. Thanks again!

Don't know if you're monitoring the other boards or if you have auto-notification engaged but here's a pretty severe crash that is related to JWChange.
I started the file attached here in Finale 2012. When I try to print page 2 of Player 3 or page 2 of Player 6 from my laptop or desktop it appears that Finale hangs. When I try to cancel the print operation and quit or restart Finale Windows 7 (64-bit) crashes to a blue screen memory dump.
I just figured out this morning that if I leave Finale alone it will eventually print the problem pages taking 5-10 minutes instead of instantly like the other pages. However there are two long horizontal bars across those pages.
It appears that Finale is having trouble processing the 2 glissando smart shapes that are connected to hidden noteheads at measure 102 in Player 3 & 6.
If I unhide the notes all is well.
If I hide the notes through Speedy Edit (O) or Simple Input (H) all is well.
If I use Jari's JW Change plugin to hide the notes I get these negative results.

| Posted 8/13/2013 12:25 PM (GMT -5) | | Hello Ken,
There is a Tie item under Noteheads.
My request would be to add the possibility to create left (backwards) ties, too, especially in the first measure of a coda, where it always takes a workaround.

I've gotten accustom to the TGTools plugins' "Collapse When Inactive" & "After Go: Close / Inactive" options. Given the modeless nature of your plugins and their usefulness when editing it makes more sense to keep the plugins open while working. However, one can quickly find that they obscure the score, especially JW Change which benefits from having a slightly larger window but may need to alternate focus with the main Finale window. Is there any way you could add an option to make the plugins smaller when they don't have focus or is that stealing Tobias's thunder (minimizing has been around since the early days on windows but I didn't know if there was some sort of plugin developers code of honor). Actually, the "window shade" code was created by me for PDK Tools once upon a time, to emulate the Mac OS8/9 Window Shade feature. So we've put the actual code for this in the public domain. I can't promise I'll add it to the "new" JW plug-ins though. I might use some other approach later on. After working with both the collapse option in TGTools and the shade option in JW plugin, I've got to say that having the collapse option directly on the plugin is much faster and user friendly for me.
Perhaps its just the way I work, but sometimes I run a plugin on multiple non-contiguous measures and need it to collapse so that I can see more of the score and other times I run the plugin multiple times but want to keep it open because I can see all I need to see and don't want to have to click on it twice just to reopen it (this gets tedious when making a half a dozen quick edits). The problem is I switch between these 2 modes of working quite frequently/rapidly (like every 60 seconds or so , especially while editing parts). Going through JW Plug-in Tools - Options really slows things down especially since it forces me to actually close the plugin and reopen it to get the setting to work.
Is there a way to make the turning on and off of the shade option for JW Plugins faster/more flexible? Is there a programming reason that you don't implement it as it is in TGTools (which also has the "After Go: Close - Inactive" options which are also very handy to this user)!
Am I the only one who prefers the TGTools implementation?
