Hi Forum,
This is a tech-savvy question. On MacOS, is there any way, by Finale Script, or other, to get the number of parts of a file translated into a MacOS System Variable so I can use it in AppleScript?
Thank you,
Best,

Finale provides significant metadata to Spotlight, including a list of the Parts in the document. See "Get Info > More Info" in the Finder.
You can access this information in AppleScript. Possibly using the shell command mdls in a 'do command' call.

Code: Select all
mdls /Users/Ben/Documents/Music/Palestrina/Palestrina\ Magnificat\ 3rd\ tone\ COMPLETE.musx
com_makemusic_defaultMusicFont = "Maestro"
com_makemusic_instruments = (
Tenor,
Alto,
Bass
)
com_makemusic_parts = (
Score,
Alto,
Tenor,
Tenor,
Bass
)
com_makemusic_staffcount = 4
