[Denemo-devel] Automatic movement numeration part 1

[Haris Brković]

I was off few days. But I wanted to summarise this idea of automatic numeration 
for other Denemo users.
So this is script I will use these days for my automatic numeration.
(d-InstrumentName (number->string (d-GetMovement)))  (while (d-NextMovement)
        (d-InstrumentName (number->string (d-GetMovement)))) (d-ScoreIndent 0) 
(d-SetSaved #f)
Thank you Richard for everything.
Of course I have more needs for numeration and I will ask about them in these 
next days if you dont mind. Although I feel little selfish to bother Richard 
and Denemo community with ideas which are maybe not useful  for everyone.
SIncerely, 
Haris

The reason it is different is because in the file as you originally sent it you 
have the indent for the whole score set and then on the first movement (only) 
you have the indent for the movement set.
So the first movement uses the value for the movement-indent, the rest used the 
score-indent. Since they are both set to 0 it looks ok.
When you run (d-InstrumentName ...) the script tries to guess how much indent 
you may need and sets the score-indent to that value. But because you have the 
movement-indent set on the first movement, that one does not change.

For your purposes you do not want this guessing of the indent, so you should 
delete the movement-indent(*) from movement 1 and use


(d-InstrumentName (number->string (d-GetMovement)))  (while (d-NextMovement)
        (d-InstrumentName (number->string (d-GetMovement)))) (d-ScoreIndent 0) 
(d-SetSaved #f)

If the value 0 looks a bit cramped (it is eating into the margin I
think) then you can use say (d-ScoreIndent 5) or even more if you have more 
than a hundred movements giving three digits at the start.
Note I added (d-SetSaved #f) which tells Denemo you have changed the score (so, 
it is false that it is saved).

This script can be improved by avoiding repeating the code setting the 
instrument name, and you can put

(while (d-PreviousMovement))

which will move to the first movement, avoiding the danger that one day you run 
your command with the cursor in the 10th movement, and don't notice that the 
earlier movements haven't been renumbered.

(*) To delete the movement indent you have to use the Movement Properties 
Editor, find the Indent directive and click Delete. This a bug really, when you 
run the movement indent command it should give the option of deleting the 
movement indent - at the moment you can only set it to some value.
