Pattern: bar(30)

Note that this pattern can't be set via the Pattern menu. Rather it is set via manual editing of this attribute or via actions, rules, etc., acting upon it.

bar([value],[min],[max]). The draws as a horizontal 'progress bar', using Color and Color2. The 'progress' block is drawn in Color2.

The parameters work this way:

• value. If used alone it is a percentage, otherwise it is a value between min and max. Thus bar(25) is the same as bar(25,0,100).
• min & max. Numerical minimum and maximum values for computing the degree of 'progress' represented in Color2 by value.

The arguments in the brackets may be numbers or expressions that can be evaluated as numbers. As Pattern is a string parameter, remember to enclose the statement in quotes so the program coerces the output to a string. If a note's Width is 3.0, then

$Pattern="bar(15*$Width)" 

is the same as writing

$Pattern="bar(45)" 

If the pattern is written without parameters or brackets, it evaluates as if at 50%, e.g. bar() and bar are the same as bar(50).
