[JW Lua] FCNoteEntry:IsPartOfTuplet/IsStartOfTuplet hangs

[Charles O. Lawrence]

No Jan, I'm on Win7.  I have had situations where the task manager just
doesn't kill the process, no matter how many times you try.  On some of the
Finale crashes, like the ones induced by trying your script sample, Finale
was able to automatically recover and restart, no reboot requird.  On
others, task manager didn't help, and a reboot is the only alternative.

Charles,

are you on Mac ?
On Windows 7 the task manager can kill the Finale process, rebooting is not
required. But restarting Finale is of course.
