Re: [Denemo-devel] Anacrusis script needed

[Nils]

I tried the script.

I like the new way. Choosing the value automatically is much better than the 
previous, manual version. 

This is typical example where a script that works like "get values in the 
moment where the object is used/played/printed" is better than "create static 
values when creating the denemo-object".

This way the anacrusis script would be right all the time, even if you delete 
or add notes in the anacrusis measure.
