New brace layers

[typefacts]

Hi Rainer,
thanks for the brace trick tutorial – great news!
Is there any way to create and re-interpolate them by script?
Like …

intermediates = [‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’]
for i in len(intermediates):
f.glyphs[i].createLayer(‘intermediateLayer’)
f.glyphs[i].intermediateLayer.re_interpolate

Thanks!
Christoph

Almost:

intermediates = {'a' : (12,100) , 'b' : (12,100), 'c' : (12,100)}

import GlyphsApp

Font = Glyphs.font
Font.disableUpdateInterface()

for (name, values) in intermediates.iteritems():
(tab)glyph = Font.glyphs[name]
(tab)layer = glyph.layers[0].copy()
(tab)print "Layer", layer.associatedMasterId
(tab)layer.name = NSString.stringWithString(“i {%d,%d}” % values)
(tab)glyph.layers[NSString.UUID()] = layer
(tab)glyph.replaceLayerWithInterpolation(layer)

Font.enableUpdateInterface()

Update to the latest beta please. I can confirm that thisGlyph.replaceLayerWithInterpolation_(thisLayer) works in Version 2.0.0 (653).

Ah, forgot to activate betas in the prefs.
Now it works, but when I go to the layer, Glyphs crashes.
