[JW Lua] Reading metrics from staves that appear in parts only

[Jan Angermüller]

A simple workaround comes to my mind:
temporarily uncheck "Force Hide Staff" for all staves at the beginning 
of the plugin,
then reset to the original values at the end of processing.
Then reading articulation and expression metrics in scroll view is 
possible for all staves.
