Harp Pedal Diagram plugin stopped working
The Harp Pedal Diagram plugin (by iancboswell), which I use frequently for orchestra writing, has suddenly stopped working. I deleted and reinstalled it, but it's still reporting the same error:
Error loading plugin
"/usr/share/mscore-1.2/plugins" line 41:
TypeError: Result of expression 'form' [null] is not an object.
I'd really hate to lose this utility. Are there any thoughts on what might be happening?
Thanks.

It fails to load the GUI file (harp.ui) and doesn't protect itself against this (and won't work without anyway I guess)

Possibly harp.ui is in the wrong place? I recently upgraded the OS (to Linux Mint 14) and it was after that that the plugin failed to work, though Musescore itself works perfectly.

check the content of /usr/share/mscore-1.2/plugins you should see the harp plugin there, a .js file and next to it the harp.ui file. If not, reinstall the harp plugin from http://musescore.org/en/project/harppedal

harp.js and harp.ui need to be at the same place.. And both need to be secured so you can at least read them.
Maybe the upgrade tampered with the file security?

Thank you both. There was a confusion of the font file directory (two OS's on this system). Don't know why it gave the error msg it did, but by putting the .ttf file in the correct place everything seems to be ok.

very bizarre, as it didn't complain about the ttf but the ui file, but hey, it's just a stupid computer ;-)
