There’s a link to a video listed in the description of this video that will show you how to install and use RGP LUA, and how to find and install the individual scripts.
Does this trigger the actual Finale Redefine Pages command? That command is pretty drastic in that it resets everything to the page format settings. If you have manually changed bottom and top system margins, say, and then just want to widen the page margins a little, changing the page format settings and doing Redefine Pages will undo all those system margins changes, so it's better to change the margins in the Page Layout tool. Or does Page Format Wizard note what was changed and only do that?
I see what you're saying. Yeah, this will change everything all at once in the same way that Redefine Pages does that. It's an interesting idea for a future version though. Perhaps there's a way to select only certain aspects in the Wizard to be changed via some more activating check marks.
Perhaps a better way to do it, at least in the case of page margins, is to do what the Page Layout tool does if you check "Update Page Format for Score" and then change the margins there, which doesn't seem to mess with anything else. If you've done any kind of work on the page format at all, Redefine Pages is probably going to be unwanted.
I hope you can help me - I have reread, retried, re-installed this script, and it's now listed four (4!) times in my Finale Lua Plug-ins ... and they are all grayed out. What am I missing? I think I installed correctly because I've been getting the box saying the new configuration of scripts requires rebooting Finale. (Yes, I've done that.) To use the script, do I need to mark/select something in my file? Is there a fee for the script? Thanks!
What version of Finale are you using? What version of RGP Lua are you using. It may be that you need to be pretty current on both of those things in order for this to work.
@@ggould Hmmm... I think there are some LUA scripts that don't work on Windows. I didn't think that this was one of them, but maybe it is. You should check with the author of this script, Jacob Winkler. He'd be able to tell you for sure if this is a Mac only script and/or how to make it work for you. jacob.winkler@mac.com
Wonderful video thank yo But I've dowloaded the plug-in but it's showing the error message when I try to use it I hope this will be fixed soon Thank you again for the video
@@ConqueringFinale Were can I find the last version of RGP because I just dowloaded it again from the link of your video on How to Install RGP and JW lua but it is still doesn't work
@@cleobuleperrot9855 Hmmm... so you have version 0.70, then? Hmmmm... then I'm not sure why it's not working. Find Jacob Winkler on FB and let him know the circumstances of the error.
TREMENDOUS achievement by JACOB WINKLER!
Thanks for the walkthrough ! Lotta cool stuff in there !
Great explanation Jason! Thnks!
I'm also having a problem with the score changing speed? How do you fix that?
How do you install these plug-ins in Finale. I have the latest version Finale 27.4 Thanks!

..but you can recover your settings quickly in a wysiwyg manner... especially if you write em down before using the plugin.
@@JonBurr If you've tweaked a dozen system margins with the mouse would you really want to do that all over again?
