[JW Lua] FCTimeSignature

[Jari Williamsson]

Bart,

FCTimeSignature is hooked up in JW Lua.

Please note that the time signature (in your case) is a sub-object of 
FCMeasure. Use the FCMeasure.TimeSignature property to get the 
FCTimeSignature object for the measure. The changes to that time 
signature object will save when the FCMeasure object is saved.

The following code example would change the time signature in the first 
measure to a "2" as the top number in the time signature:

--
local m = finale.FCMeasure()
m:Load(1)
m.TimeSignature.Beats = 2
m:Save()
--

Best regards,

Jari Williamsson
