* The error message when scilexer.dll isn't found now references jwlua64.fxt on 64-bit Windows build.
* FCString::FormatCharacterNumber() added
* ForEachInteger now handles progress bar for downward steps as well
* RoundedCorners & RoundedCornerRadius properties have been added to FCTextBlock for Finale 25.4 functionality

Mise à jour en version Beta 0.50.
Une longue liste de correctifs :

"JW Lua, beta version 0.50 is now available for download.

Fixed and added things:
* FCCellPos class added
* FCCell:CalcClefIndexAt() and FCCellPos:CalcClefIndex() added, which calculates the clef at a specific location in the music.
* Fixed a heap corruption problem that could happen in FCString:GetLuaString() when high Unicode characters are added to the string.
* Fixed an issue where FCString:GetLuaString() could return an empty string when high Unicode characters are added to the string.
* Unicode file paths are now supported on the Mac on Finale 25. This also fixed various issues with classes that handles folders on Finale 25/Mac.
* FCShapeDef:ExportAsSVGFile() added for Finale 25, which can save a FCShapeDef as a SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) v1.1 file.
FCMusicRegion:AddMeasureOffset() added
* Fixed some cases where FCMusicRegion:IsEmpty() will not return the current result.
* FCUI:IsFontAvailable() uses the new Finale 25 PDK API for checking font availability, rather than the using system calls. (Earlier Finale versions still uses the old implementation.)
* FCFolderBrowseDialog class now (optionally) uses the new PDK API in Finale 25 for finding a folder on the system. Older Finale versions still use the old implementation. This can be turned off even for Finale 25 with FCFolderBrowseDialog.UseFinaleAPI property.
* FCNoteEntryCell methods FindPreviousEntryPos() & FindNextEntryPos() added.
* The ’Find’ methods in FCNoteEntryCell can now fine-tune how they will scan their content in the note entry cell, using these properties: FindVisible, FindHidden, FindNotes, FindRests, FindAlternateNotation, FindCutaway
* Fixed a crash, where FCTextExpressionDef would crash when using the methods when no data had been loaded.
* Added a debug method called __FCBaseData:CreateRawDataDump(), where the whole internal data block can be dumped as a FCNumbers collection.
* FCString:SplitAt() method added
* FCMeasureNumberRegions::CalcNumberFromString() now supports the ’:’ delimiter between a specific region and the measure number.
* 4 new methods added to FCMeasureNumberRegions. IsStringUnique(), IsMeasureIncluded(), CountRegionsForMeasure(), FindByID()
Enclosures in FCMeasureNumberRegion on Finale 25.4 now supports rounded corners.
* The FCMeasureNumberRegion has been rewritten and cleaned up internally in the PDK Framework, to simplify the support for 4 different versions of the PDK data structures.
* The string that is created by FCMeasureNumberRegions:CalcStringFromNumber() is now unique among the regions.
* GetName() and SetName() FCFretInstrumentDef now supports Unicode strings on Finale 25.3 and above.
* Fixed incorrect FCFretInstrumentDef::StringTuning() return values on Finale 25.3 and above.
* FCSeparateMeasureNumber now support enclosures with rounded corners on Finale 25.4 and above.
* Fixed a bug in FCSeparateMeasureNumber::AssignMeasureNumberRegion(), where it would assign to the item number rather than the measure number region ID.
* CalcNumberFromString() and CalcStringFromNumber() in FCMeasureNumberRegions now looks at the ”Include in Measure Numbering” attribute. To speed up processing of multiple calls, there’s also a AssignAllMeasures() method.* FCMeasureNumberRegion:AssignAllMeasures() is also available, for optional processing of the ”Include in Measure Numbering” attribute in FCMeasureNumberRegion methods.
* FCTuplePrefs is now fully supported. Although these 4 properties were added a few builds ago, these are now documented as Lua-supported as well: NumberOffsetUpstem, NumberOffsetDownstem, BracketThickness, MaxSlope
* FCString::CreateEnigmaComponents() now works with nested parentheses, for example if a font name has parentheses.
* FCShapeDef loading/saving has been changed on 2014b and above. It doesn’t use any workarounds anymore on these versions, and Fin2014b+ should now load empty shapes without crash on Windows (crashes can unfortunately still randomly occur pre-2014b).
* FCShapeDefInstructions:AddDrawChar() is now Unicode-supported on Fin2012+
* FCShapeDefInstructions:AddDrawCharsString() method added (Unicode-supported on Fin2012+)
* Added SHAPETAG_* constants for use with FCShapeDefInstruction:GetTag()
FCShapeDefInstruction:SetFourbyteData() method added.
* Long ”require” folder paths in the JW Lua Preferences dialog box are now formatted so they should fit the list box.
* Fixed an issue where FCStaffStyleDefs:LoadAll() failed to load all staff styles refs.
* Added the 5 properties to FCDistancePrefs that controls time sig placements in parts. They start with the ”TimeSigParts” instead of just ”TimeSig”. (For example: ”TimeSigPartsTopVertical”, instead of ”TimeSigTopVertical”)
* On Finale 25.1 and later, FCRepeatPrefs now supports a property ThinInnerBracketReference.
* On Finale 25.4 and later, FCMiscDocPrefs now supports a property named KeySigCancelSwitchingSharpsFlats.
* On Finale 25.3 and later, FCSmartShapePrefs now supports 2 properties named HairpinDefaultShortOpening and HairpinMaxShortSpanLength
* Changed how the Windows versions are built (on MMs suggestion), since a particular configuration can cause Finale to crash for users with a huge number of Finale plug-ins.

Mise à jour en version Beta 0.52.

Hello All!

JW Lua beta v0.52 is now available for download. Fixed in this version:

* Added FCMusicRegion::IsSinglePos(), for when horizontal start and end points are the same.

* Fixed FCNote::CalcRightsidePlacement() return values, for situations when right-side noteheads had been moved slighty to the left.
