| - | For Windows users, here's a page on how to use [[AutoHotkey]] (a freeware macro program) with JW Freeware plug-ins on Windows. | + | ===== Special Configuration on 64-bit Finale ===== |
| + | |||
| + | On 32-bit Finale versions, there's a utility called JW Plug-in Tool that allows you to configure certain global aspects of the plug-ins (such as "macro friendly mode", "window shade mode", etc). For technical reasons, I have never ported this plug-in to 64-bit Finale. | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can manually change the configuration on 64-bit Finale as well, even if it is a bit technical: | ||
| + | - Make sure that you have run a "JW" plug-in at least once in your Finale version (that assures that a preference file has been saved). | ||
| + | - Search and locate the folder for the //jwpluginprefs.txt// file for the Finale version you're using. (It should be in a folder named something like //MakeMusic/Finale// or //MakeMusic/Finale 26// in the user options folder on your computer). | ||
| + | - In that same folder, create a __text file__ (it must be a pure text file) named **jwpluginoptions.txt** with a text editor | ||
| + | - Add the **code line** from the table below for the required effect | ||
| + | - Save the text file | ||
| + | - Restart Finale | ||
| + | |||
| + | In the table below: 1 means ON and 0 means OFF | ||
| + | |||
| + | ^ Plug-in ^ Code line ^ Description ^ | ||
| + | | JW Accidentals | KEY_JWACCIDENTALS_WINDOWSHADE=1 | Changes the modeless window to use window shade when not being active | | ||
| + | | JW Accidentals | KEY_JWACCIDENTALS_WINDOWALPHA=1 | Changes the modeless window to become semi-transparent when not being active | | ||
| + | | JW Change | KEY_JWCHANGE_MACROFRIENDLYMODE=1 | Changes the window UI to "macro friendly" | | ||
| + | | JW Change | KEY_JWCHANGE_SINGLE_PITCH_REMOVE_UNISONS=1 | Removes unisons in the "Single Pitch" tool. | | ||
| + | | JW Measure Numbers | KEY_JWMEASURENUMBERS_WINDOWSHADE=1 | Changes the modeless window to use window shade when not being active | | ||
| + | | JW Meter & Rhythm | KEY_JWMETERANDRHYTHM_WINDOWSHADE=1 | Changes the modeless window to use window shade when not being active | | ||
| + | | JW Navigate | KEY_JWNAVIGATE_WINDOWSHADE=1 | Changes the modeless window to use window shade when not being active | | ||
| + | | JW Navigate | KEY_JWNAVIGATE_THINWINDOW=1 | Changes the modeless window to a vertically thin + horizontally long layout | | ||
| + | | JW Staff Polyphony | KEY_JWSTAFFPOLYPHONY_MACROFRIENDLYMODE=1 | Changes the window UI to "macro friendly" | | ||
| + | | JW Staff Polyphony | KEY_JWSTAFFPOLYPHONY_WINDOWSHADE=1 | Changes the modeless window to use window shade when not being active | | ||
| + | | JW Staff Set Panel | KEY_JWSTAFFSETPANEL_WINDOWSHADE=1 | Changes the modeless window to use window shade when not being active | | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you need multiple features, use one line per command. A **jwpluginoptions.txt** file might for example look like this: | ||
| + | |||
| + | KEY_JWCHANGE_MACROFRIENDLYMODE=1 | ||
| + | KEY_JWCHANGE_SINGLE_PITCH_REMOVE_UNISONS=1 | ||
| + | KEY_JWSTAFFPOLYPHONY_MACROFRIENDLYMODE=1 | ||
| + | KEY_JWSTAFFPOLYPHONY_WINDOWSHADE=1 | ||
