Bonjour, Je suis bien occupé avec mon travail principal et quelques échéances musicales qui arrivent. Quand j'aurais l'occasion de me replonger dans mon script TargetsEditor, je regarderai si je peux intégrer du code de Danièl, ou faire de la numérotation A1, A2, ... An, B1, B2, ... Bn
Melody Assistant files under OS X intuitively always positioned themselves to fit within the available area of a desktop Apple computer screen.
Irrespective of where the Dock was located, whether horizontally along the lower edge of the screen or vertically along its left or right edge, it was always acknowledged by MA files, as were the palettes along the top.
MA files still recognise the Dock when it’s at the bottom of the screen under macOS 11 (and now mac OS 12.4), but no longer do so when it’s against the screen’s left edge.
Instead, the Dock is ignored. Files open beneath it, with their staff editing menus against the left edge of the screen, and their vertical scroll bars against its edge on the right.
Simply moving files to the left in order to clear the Dock and reveal the menus also pushes their vertical scroll bars off-screen.
To ensure both the menus and the scroll bar are visible requires dragging the right edge of a file to the left a distance equal to the Dock’s width, then repositioning the file to clear the Dock.
Doing so each time a file is opened is not only onerous, but unnecessary, especially as all internet web pages—including the home page of Myriad itself—automatically acknowledge a Dock when located on the left side of an Apple screen.
It's a PDF created with Finale, but i just made PDFtoMusic read the sheet (I with other songs and it was just fine)
So, first of all I'll try checking all the lyrics in the pentagrams. Then if it doesn't work, I'll try with .myr and HA (i don't own a licence for it). Thanks again.
I don’t how it happened, but what a relief that the Selection Tool suddenly decided to do what it's designed to do—play only the selection itself, and nothing else. (Was Myriad magic involved?)
The difference is shown in the small score extract below, where originally not only the selected Flute 3 played, but also 6 unselected wind instruments. Now the only instrument playing is Flute 3, which is as it should be.
Thank you for your insight. As I said, “so far, so good”, but you never know how things might develop over time; indeed, who know what the Future holds in store for we mere mortals
And again, although I am “at home” in a simple programming environment, I do aim to concentrate on music, and so endeavour to stay away from anything which might conceal “a maze beset with brutal pitfalls”*.
Thus I heed advice from a Greater Authority: on May 16th, 2022, 1:27pm, Sylvain Machefert wrote:
The undo history inside %APPDATA%/ACAMPREF is good to get lightweight .myr files, but is more touchy in case of .myr having same name in differents folders.
So who needs “touchy” myr files, anyway?

Sounds like “brutal pitfalls” to me!!
On a less philosophical note, when I selected the “Don't save undo” option in General Settings, the option to save in a seperate file was already unchecked. Which leads me to infer that although I have just reinstalled this version, the Undo History is saved in the dedicated file and not in the current myr file. I have never knowingly changed this option, and so hopefully am not condemned to facing “mega-enormous” (Tony Deff) file sizes and related indigestion!
In conclusion, I do admit to being lured by the call to investigate %APPDATA%/ACAMPREF. A call not unlike that of the mermaid to an unwary mariner: hypnotic and deadly!
Again, I shall provide updates, wherever appropriate.
Many thanks, I repeat
Hoppy

This .msa install 2 files (.myf and .bmp) in Scripts/Notation/Score.
At first launch, console should display some downloads and tests of "SMCore", my core libraries and object that I'll use in many script. More info about SMCore in this topic.
Le fichier .msa installe 2 fichiers (.myf et .bmp) dans Scripts/Notation/Score.
Au premier lancement, la console doit afficher des "Downloading xxx..." et des tests d'intégrité de ce que j'ai appelé "SMCore", un noyau de librairies, objets et functions utiles dans plusieurs scripts. Plus d'infos sur SMCore dans ce sujet.
