[JW Lua] Change System Margins after Double barline

[Herbert van Essen]

Thank you very much!
It works fine now.
I am still struggling with the intermingling of measures and systems
sometimes.
I hope to learn more of the following example scripts.
I very much like the group script idea.

All the best!
Herbert
