Common use of Command Clause in Contracts

Command. It works just like Finale's command, but it offers different things to remove from the selected document region. All the 'items' offered here are properties – when you remove them, they will be reset to their default appearance. This dialog is going to be extended by many new items in the future. Currently the removable items are: ♦ Horizontal lyrics adjustments: this option will reset any horizontal tweaking of syllables within the selected region. Thus, it will also remove the adjustments made by TGTools' Move long syllables on beat 1 a bit to the right. ♦ Vertical lyrics adjustments: this option will reset any vertical tweaking of syllables – it will not remove lyrics baseline adjustments, but only modifications of the vertical position of single (or multiple) syllables. ♦ Lyrics alignment settings (Fin98 only): will reset syllable alignment to Default. ♦ Lyrics justification settings (Fin98 only): will reset syllable justification to Default. Note: this dialog box is accessible from the Lyrics Utilities submenu and the Miscella- neous submenu, with different default option settings. Shift Lyrics‌ This tool can be used to shift syllables within the selected region in both horizontal and vertical directions. Its original intention is correcting Finale's centering of lyrics under whole and double-whole notes. This will be done when using Shift Lyrics with the default options settings: To achieve this result, quite a few options are provided so as to: • affect notes within a specific range of durations only • program different horizontal shift values for different note durations • handle dotted notes correctly ♦ Shift lyrics on shortest affected notes horizontally by: here, you specify the horizontal shift (in Finale's EVPU measurement) which is used for the shortest notes within the range of durations that are modified. With the default settings, this is the horizontal correction applied to whole notes. ♦ Shift lyrics on longest affected notes horizontally by: here, you specify the horizontal shift which is used for the longest notes within the range of durations that are modified. With the default settings, this is the horizontal correction applied to double whole notes. ♦ Shift lyrics vertically by: use this field for vertical shifts. It is not used by the default settings (0). ♦ Minimum EDU length of notes to modify: this specifies the shortest note duration whose lyrics are to be shifted. The default value of 4096 will require notes to be at least as long as a whole note. ♦ Maximum EDU length of notes to modify: this specifies the longest note duration whose lyrics are to be shifted. The default value of 8192 corresponds to double whole notes. This value must not be increased without increasing the second option (from top) also since these value correspond to each other. However, if the following option is on, syllables under dotted whole notes are also corrected: ♦ Auto-handle dotted notes? when checked, TGTools will use an additional horizontal shift for dotted notes, and it will also include dotted whole notes even though they are longer than the specified maximum EDU value. ♦ Additional horizontal shift for lyrics on dotted notes: this value is used to make syllabled look well-centered under dotted whole and dotted double-whole notes. ♦ Modify syllables which already have adjustments? if this option is not checked, the plug-in will not touch syllables that already have horizontal or vertical adjustments, whichever applies. ♦ Ignore these previous adjustments? this option is only available if the previous option is checked. If this option is selected also, then previous positioning adjustments will be reset prior to shifting. With the default purpose of the plug-in, it is recommended to have this option checked when the previous option is selected. This will cause TGTools to start over with the corrective horizontal syllable adjustments. Chapter Seven‌
