[JW Lua] Metrics problem with SmartShapes that go past several measures

[Jan Angermüller]

Jari,

busy with some metrics beta testing today...

When reading metrics from hairpins that go past measure boundaries (e.g. 
2 measures),
I can't read the right position from the hairpin. It always returns false.
Reading the values from hairpins within one measure, works fine,
also reading the left value works fine.

This is the test script that prints the left and right position
of cresc./dim. hairpins in the selected region:

local region = finenv.Region()
local marks = finale.FCSmartShapeMeasureMarks()
marks:LoadAllForRegion(region)
for mark in each(marks) do
     local leftpoint=finale.FCPoint(1,1)
     local rightpoint=finale.FCPoint(1,1)
     local smartshape = mark:CreateSmartShape()
     if (smartshape:GetShapeType() == finale.SMARTSHAPE_CRESCENDO)
       or (smartshape:GetShapeType() == finale.SMARTSHAPE_DIMINUENDO) then
          print(smartshape:CalcLeftCellMetricPos(leftpoint),
                   smartshape:CalcRightCellMetricPos(rightpoint),
                   "Left:",leftpoint.X,
                   "Right:",rightpoint.X)
    end
end

For the attached screenshot, it prints:

true true Left: 2631 Right: 2786     -- first cresc.
true true Left: 3601 Right: 3703    -- second cresc.
true *false *Left: 4306 Right: 1         -- third cresc.
true *false *Left: 4306 Right: 1         -- duplicate entry of third 
cresc. (will be omitted, when calling marks:LoadAllForRegion(region,true)  )

I get the same result from the Finale default document
with no no entries, except a cresc. over two measures.

Any hints ? Looks like a bug for me.
