    Hi. Im trying to copy an applescript that show/hides the menubar into soundflow, but when trying to run it nothing happens.

    The Applescript code look like this:

    tell application "System Events"
	tell dock preferences to set autohide menu bar to not autohide menu bar
end tell

    The soundflow scrip like this:

    sf.system.execAppleScript({
    script: "tell application \"System Events\" \tell dock preferences to set autohide menu bar to not autohide menu bar end tell",
});

    Any suggestions?

      Hi Nicolai,

      Do it like this:

      sf.system.execAppleScript({
    script: `
tell application "System Events"
    tell dock preferences to set autohide menu bar to not autohide menu bar
end tell
`
});

      If you use the backtick symbol ` like this, your string can span multiple lines and include double quotes and single quotes, which the AppleScript needs.
