[JW Lua] Slur segment does not return measure pos

[Jan Angermüller]

ah ok, yes, reading from the corresponding note entry was already my 
workaround.
Thanks for the quick response !

BTW, I get a strange keyboard behaviour with JW Lua under the following 
conditions (Win7/Fin2014):
I am in SmartShape mode and have a slur selected.
Then I set focus to the JW Lua dialog (which is open all the time)
with a mouse click and enter the letter "f" in the JW Lua editor text field.
Although JW Lua is the top window now (Finale is in backgrond),
the letter f does not appear in the text field, but flips the selected slur.
I don't know if this happens with every Finale. Actually I had
never flipped a slur before with the letter "f" so it can't be a
macro or shortcut that I edited manually.
And it's the only letter that leads to strange behaviour.
Any idea what this comes from ?
