Hello All!

JW Lua beta version 0.10 is now available for download.

First, an important note regarding accidentals: With this new beta, the 
FCNote.Accidental property will continue to report the displayed 
accidental state correctly, even on Finale 2014. However, 
FCNote:GetAccidental() will NOT do that on Finale 2014. The method to 
use is called FCNote:CalcAccidental().

Major new addition to this beta is that scripts can now run in Finale's 
plug-in menu (in the same menu branch as JW Lua). You need to reboot 
Finale to rebuild the plug-in menu system.


New and fixed in this version:
* Bug fix: HorizontalAlignmentPoint and HorizontalJustification are 
swapped in FCTextExpressionDef
* Bug fix: Some ALIGNVERT_ constants were wrong.
* Bug fix: FCNoteheadMods:SaveAt() doesn't update data ID
* Added classes: FCStemMod, FCTextBlock, FCFileInfoText, FCTupletPrefs
* FCShapeExpressionDef positioning options implemented
* Smartshape metrics added to both cell and entry metrics
* FCNoteEntry.CombineRests property added (for Finale 2014 functionality)
* Bug fix: FCMeasure would cause a crash if properties are set to a 
non-loaded object
* Bug fix: Saving group scripts's default name will no longer default to 
the currently edited file
* Bug fix: FCNoteEntry.CheckAccidentals went bad
* Bug fix: Fixed Mac bug where finenv.Region() stopped to work in group 
scripts
* Static methods added to FCMeasures to add and insert new measures
* CreateTextBlock() added to FCPageText and FCMeasureText
* ContainsLuaString should no longer include a second parameter
* Bug fix: Don't allow document redraw in Sandbox mode (since it will 
destroy the Undo stack)
* FCStaff properties added: ShowTimeSignatures, ShowAugmentationDots, 
ShowBarlines, ShowChords, ShowClefs, ShowTextRepeats, ShowFretboards, 
ShowLyrics, ShowRepeats, ShowRests, ShowStaffLines, ShowScoreStaffName, 
ShowPartStaffName, ShowStems, ShowTies
* Scripts can be added to Finale's menu
* FCString:SetUnitValue() added
* FCNoteEntry::CalcAccidental added
* Group script now use loadfile() instead of dofile()
* TEXT_VERTICAL_ALIGN constants has been reordered for documentation 
purposes
* Shape commands have been disabled on Finale 2014, until the new data 
format for shapes is covered.
* Bug fix: Page text alignment and positioning doesn't work as expected 
on right-side pages when right page positioning is OFF
