If you have loaded a layer that is cloned, there should be a 1-1 
relationship between the 2 layers. The Count property should be the same 
and each GetItemAt() should refer to the same relative position in the 
FCNoteEntryLayer collection.

The current implementation of "Find" was a rather quick hack. I'll 
revisit the functionality later.

Does the FCUI.ScreenWidth and FCUI.ScreenHeight returns the correct 
values for your screen?

I'll soon tackle staff styles. I need to redesign it, since the current 
class for the staff style definitions in the PDK Framework doesn't work 
well with the changes made in Finale 2012.
