Condition

A condition is a formulation of a condition. Conditions are used in layout templates to ensure that changes (executing a layout template) are only performed under the specified condition.

Conditions are constructed as A operator B with

A	a property of the current melody (such as note size, line spacing) or result of the calculation of the melody (such as number of lines/bars, whitespace).
operator	'=, >, < or ' <>
B	the value to be tested for the property in question.

In a condition you can query the components separately for a composite parameter such as a font:

Parameter	type	description	example
Name	string	font name	Times New Roman
Size	integrity	font size	8
Style	string	font style bold/italic/underlined/narrow	fsNormal
Color	string	color name	clDefault
X	integrity	horizontal position	0
Y	integrity	vertical position	0
Align	string	alignment	taLeft
LineUp	boolean	alignment with previous text	0
Visible	boolean	become visible	1

Examples:

    nLines > 11

    iLineFillPercent < 60

    nPages <> 1

    sMeters = 7/8

    fChords.Name <> Arial
