Trigger menu items in Amadeus II

I am trying to script the selection of standard menu items in Amadeus II, the sound editing app. (I never upgraded to Amadeus Pro since this version does all I need for now)

This script, patterned after one I use for another app successfully, fails to produce any result beyond activating the app. Any suggestions?

Oh, and I’m entering the “…” as an ellipsis from the Character palette.

do_menu("Amadeus II", "Selection", "Generate Markers.")

on do_menu(Amadeus, selection, "Generate Markers.")
	try
		-- bring the target application to the front
		tell application Amadeus
			activate
		end tell
		delay 1
		tell application "System Events"
			tell process Amadeus
				tell menu bar 1
					tell menu bar item selection
						tell menu "Selection"
							click menu item "Generate Markers."
							
						end tell
					end tell
				end tell
			end tell
			return true
			
		end tell
	end try
end do_menu

Have you tried it also with three dots? Not all programmers use the horizontal ellipsis character.

As the subroutine is obviously used only for Amadeus, I recommend to avoid the name as variable

That was it, three periods rather than the ellipsis character.

Thanks, sometimes one assumes the clever over the obvious.
